description

The aim of the research group is to investigate the role of personality in the second/foreign language acquisition process, which places it within the ‘Diversity and Migration’, as well as ‘Multilingualism in School and Higher Education’ labs. The basic undertakings of the group include empirical research carried out at the secondary and tertiary levels. Aside from broadening the knowledge about personality involved in language learning, the group’s aim is to refine data analysis tools. The group members include Katarzyna Skałacka (Department of Psychology, University of Opole) and Katarzyna Ożańska-Ponikwia (University of Bielsko-Biala). Some results of the research have already been published (e.g., System, Applied Linguistics Review, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development).
