LAILA - short for Linguistic Awareness in Language Attriters - is a longitudinal research project that looks at how people remember and forget languages they have learned, and at how learning, remembering and forgetting languages changes how we think. Our project is unique in its multilingual approach: rather than looking at the development of just one language, we look at several languages in interaction. Find out more about who we are and what we're about.
In November 2014, Kathrin Oberhofer passed her doctoral exam under her advisor and 'doctor-mama' Prof. Ulrike Jessner-Schmid and second examiner Prof. Kees de Bot, visiting from Groningen (Netherlands). The official graduation took place in January. Congratulations from the DyME and LAILA teams!
