Pascale Engel de Abreu

Associate Professor / Université du Luxembourg

Pascale Engel de Abreu is a psychologist and associate professor at the Institute for Research on Multilingualism of the University of Luxembourg. She holds a PhD from the University of York (UK) and has postdoctoral research experience from the University of Oxford, the University of Princeton, and York University (Canada). She has worked with children from different backgrounds in Luxembourg, France, the UK, Africa, Bolivia, and Brazil. In her research, she studies important cognitive processes that children need to learn to speak, read and write such as working memory, executive functions and phonological awareness. She is particularly interested in exploring these processes in multilingual speakers. Her research has theoretical but also practical implications. A major aim is to develop theoretically-driven assessment instruments and intervention programs that will help to alleviate children’s learning difficulties and might prevent a downward spiral towards poor educational progress and its associated social problems.
