Her research revolves around a common theme: languages and multilingualism in the Belgian community context. She studies the impact on language acquisition of relationships between dominant linguistic communities, socio-psychological factors and contact situations in the school environment; the context and results of bilingual education; the multilingual needs of companies in Brussels and the resulting costs; and the linguistic landscape (and reactions to it) as an indicator of relationships between linguistic communities. This research is often carried out in a comparative perspective with Canada.
