Collaboration
In its pursuit of becoming a regional leader in the Science of Learning, CRADLE has established working partnerships with Johns Hopkins’ Science of Learning Institute (USA). The collaboration includes capital-intensive research projects focused on bilingual language and literacy acquisition, typical and atypical reading in bilinguals, lifelong learning, technology-enabled learning, and others. CRADLE researchers are regularly dispatched on overseas study trips to keep track of current trends, bring back new ideas, and foster dialogues with experts from partnering institutes.
