In this increasingly diverse world, there is a clear need for advanced communicative competence. In this project, we will explore the mechanism of second language acquisition and foreign language teaching through a mixed-methods, qualitative and quantitative approach with the aim of utilized-focused
language learning and research. In particular, we will focus on language learning in relation to various cultural perspectives, including cognitive linguistics and pragmatics as they pertain to living in and creating a multilingual and multicultural society.
