Bi/multilingualism has become the norm in modern societies. The quest to understand how multilingualism can affect other aspects of cognition (e.g., flexible and creative thinking, perception, emotion, decision-making) has become a central objective across many disciplines, including linguistics, education, and psychology. The core aim of the course is to familiarize students and provide hands-on experience with experimental methods in the study of the multilingual mind, presenting current theories and debates regarding the relationship between language and cognition in multilinguals. Reading material will comprise of journal articles and book chapters that will be made available on our course platform.

The course is examined through an activity portfolio (comprising five short written assignments to be submitted according to the instructor's instructions), a written essay of c. 1,400 words, and an oral presentation, focused on the topic the student has chosen for their essay.
