Research
Rasman's research interests revolve around various aspects of language and education, including multilingual education, multilingual identity, translanguaging in education, and language-in-education policy. With a focus on understanding the ways in which different languages are used and integrated in educational settings, he is interested in exploring the complex relationships between language, culture, and identity, and how these factors can impact educational outcomes for students. Through his research, he seeks to promote more inclusive and effective approaches to language education that take into account the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of learners.
