Marit Greek

Marit Greek is a Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), specializing in language education and multicultural academic environments. Her work centers on the Centre for Academic Language and Practice, focusing on bridging linguistic gaps in higher education.

Her research interests prominently feature Multicultural Education, Second Language Acquisition, and Academic Literacy, with particular emphasis on Norwegian as a second language for students and professionals. She investigates learning environments, adult education dynamics, and academic writing development, especially for non-native speakers transitioning into Norwegian higher education.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on language integration in professional contexts (particularly healthcare), academic transition challenges, and institutional strategies for multilingual support. Her work increasingly addresses practical implementation of language policies in universities and professional fields.

Professor Greek maintains active collaboration with Kari Mari Jonsmoen across all publication types, producing significant contributions to textbooks, research reports, and dissemination materials focused on language competence in educational settings.

Her advising work centers on developing institutional frameworks for language support rather than individual student supervision, with notable impact on Norwegian higher education practices through her extensive dissemination activities and policy-oriented research.

She leads initiatives connecting academic language development with professional practice, particularly evident in her healthcare language projects and transition programs for secondary-to-tertiary education pathways.
