A collection of signs in different languages

CGE (Centre for Global Englishes) produces and disseminates research on the linguistic and sociocultural dimensions of global uses and users of English (Global Englishes), and on English as a Lingua Franca in particular. The centre provides a forum for knowledge-sharing and collaboration with other interested researchers and centres around the world.

About

The main aims and focus of CGE are to:

  • produce, support and disseminate research on the linguistic and sociocultural dimensions of global uses, usages and users of English (i.e. Global Englishes), and on English as a Lingua Franca in particular
  • explore the implications of such research and develop new conceptualisations of (English) language and communication
  • investigate, evaluate, promote, and influence conceptions and applications of English in academic settings, including a strong focus on internationalisation in Higher Education
  • provide a forum for knowledge-sharing and collaboration with other interested researchers and research centres around the world, as well as with those not directly involved in researching the field, but interested in learning more about it

Dr Adriana Patino

Associate Professor

Research interests

  • Director of the Centre for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research (CLLEAR). I have expertise in sociolinguistic ethnography, language socialisation, narrative inquiry, and multilingualism. I have concentrated on the social processes that are produced in daily-life encounters by focusing on the intersection between language, ideology and positioning. My interests lie in the area of how young people and adults experience language issues when embarking upon life projects involving mobility. I am currently interested in Family, Language and Memory.
