-<fs small>1. The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/en/linguistics/digital-literacy-in-university-contexts-diglit/|Digital Literacy in university contexts (DigLit)]] (Prof. Triantafyllia Liana Konstantinidou, Prof. Maureen Ehrensberger-Dow, Prof. Dr. Cerstin Mahlow) is carried out in collaboration with the Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich PHZH, the Berner Fachhochschule BFH and the Université de Neuchâtel. As digitalisation progresses, new technologies can offer valuable support to academic writers. However, research and practice show that students and their lecturers are often not aware of the applicability of available tools and are unable to exploit their full potential. These are the issues addressed by the DigLit project, supported by swissuniversities and the partner institutions. The challenge of this project is to make purposeful use of the benefits of Artificial Intelligence-related technologies in language teaching and learning as well as academic writing, while eliminating associated problems such as inefficient and misleading communication and misuse (e.g. plagiarism). This project aims to demonstrate how Artificial Intelligence-related technologies can be systematically and meaningfully introduced into higher education teaching and counselling; the competent use of these technologies by lecturers will be promoted; students will be empowered to improve their writing with the help of intelligent machines. To achieve this goal, it evaluates the applicability of different types of digital multilingual writing support at Swiss universities and raise awareness among current and future users of the opportunities and risks involved.

-<fs small>2. The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/de/forschung/forschungsdatenbank/projektdetail/projektid/5014/|Development of placement tests and systematic introduction of language examinations at Zurich International School]] (Prof. Joachim Hoefele, Prof. Triantafyllia Liana Konstantinidou, Institute of Language Competence) aims to introduce a standardised, coherent system of placement tests and language examinations in order to promote the German competences of the students in a targeted manner. The project is developing two CEFR-based placement tests; in this context, workshops are being designed and conducted in which teachers are taught the language acquisition levels (German as first and second language) in the various skills and familiarised with the content, concepts and objectives of the Goethe language examinations for children and young people. [Ongoing] </fs>

-<fs small>3.The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/de/forschung/forschungsdatenbank/projektdetail/projektid/4861/|Knowledge Communication and Transfer: Promoting Writing Competence in Vocational Education and Training - Concept, Implementation and Evaluation]] (Prof. Joachim Hoefele, Dr. Karin Madlener-Charpentier, Prof. Triantafyllia Liana Konstantinidou, Institute of Language Competence) examines for the first time the language and text-related writing competences of vocational learners with and without a migration background in the Germany-Austria-Switzerland. Lake Constance region. The results make targeted support diagnostics and didactics possible that take into account the heterogeneous linguistic resources of the learners. [Ongoing]  </fs>

-<fs small>4. The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/de/forschung/forschungsdatenbank/projektdetail/projektid/3826/|Gemeinsame europäische Referenzrahmen (GeR) websites for the sign languages of Switzerland]] (Prof. Jörg Keller Paul, Institute of Language Competence) aims to develop the competence descriptions for communicative competences in Swiss German Sign Language, and make these descriptions accessible in a video version. These descriptions were developed in close cooperation with Swiss deaf people at the ZHAW and then statically validated. In the future, they will serve as a reference for course objectives and competence assessments of a specific language competence level (A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2) in a total of 14 scales for productive and receptive areas of communication. [Ongoing] </fs>

-<fs small>5.The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/de/forschung/forschungsdatenbank/projektdetail/projektid/4168/|Swiss Global Competence Lab]] (Prof. Patrick Studer, Institute of Language Competence) works towards the internationalization of the curriculum (IoC) in Swiss higher education context. The primary objective of this project is to build a dynamic organizational unit, called Swiss Global Competence Lab (SGCL), which is capable of responding to trends and emerging needs in internationalization of higher education in Switzerland. The SGCL is envisioned as the leading Centre of Excellence for R&D, teaching and services in the area of IoC. It also facilitates international collaboration and consultation with leading experts in the field (e.g., Center for International Higher Education in Boston, USA; the Network IoC Global in Action, Australia). [Ongoing]  </fs>

-<fs small>6. The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/de/forschung/forschungsdatenbank/projektdetail/projektid/4054/|Informed Consent in an Understandable Form]] (Prof. Felix Steiner, Institute of Language Competence) is funded by the Federal Office of Public Health and aims to contribute to improving comprehensibility for medical laypersons. To this end, the project is using applied linguistics to develop tools that support researchers and ethics committees in the formulation, review and editing of information and consent documents and optimise the quality of information discussions. [Ongoing] </fs>

-<fs small>7.The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/en/research/research-database/project-detailview/projektid/5059/|End-to-End Low-Resource Speech Translation for Swiss German Dialects]] (Prof. Mark Cieliebak, Dr. Jan Milan Deriu, ZHAW School of Engineering, Centre for Artificial Intelligence) is funded by the SNSF. This project investigates the application of recent findings in Speech Translation to Swiss German. Speech Translation (ST) is the task of translating spoken utterances in one language into written text in a different language. It serves as an essential tool for breaking down language barriers in various communication settings and a promising means in preserving endangered languages. It investigate how ST can be applied to Swiss German dialects, i.e. to translate speech in Swiss German into text in Standard German. This has numerous important real-life applications, e.g. voice bots such as Siri or Alexa, interview transcription, generating meeting protocols, evaluation of call-center dialogues, etc. [Ongoing]  </fs>

-<fs small>8.The project [[https://www.zhaw.ch/en/research/research-database/project-detailview/projektid/4707/|DOSSMA – Detection of Suspicious Social Media Activities]] (Prof. Mark Cieliebak, Prof. Pius von Däniken, ZHAW School of Engineering, Centre for Artificial Intelligence) is funded by the Federal government. The project investigates suspicious and malicious behaviour on social media platforms. In a first phase, we will compile an extensive survey report on the areas that are currently being researched, including the respective state-of-the-art, existing solutions and initiatives. This report will serve as a basis to pinpoint one or two suited topics where our expertise in the NLP domain is a good fit, and we will aim to make a scientific contribution to advance the state-of-the-art in a second phase of the project.

In this interdisciplinary project, researchers in the fields of interpreting, translation and neuropsychology are studying the influence of non-standard English on language processing to determine the cognitive correlates associated with non-standard input and to measure its impact on the performance of interpreters, translators, and other bilinguals.
