The new project “Effects and moderators of stereotype threat in vocabulary/language learning situations among primary and secondary school students of Turkish origin”, funded by the DFG, will be launched this year. The research project will be conducted by Prof. Dr. Nele McElvany in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Bettina Hannover, Dr. Lysann Zander, and Prof. Dr. Oliver T. Wolf. Andreas Sander will be project manager at the project site Dortmund. Several experimental surveys aim at investigating the effects of stereotypes on learning success.
