Ohlhus's research focuses on discourse acquisition, development of written language use, and multimodal communication in educational settings. His work examines how interactive learning processes shape narrative and argumentative competence, particularly in primary and secondary schools. He has led and contributed to interdisciplinary projects like 'Writing between Languages and Cultures' and 'The Role of Family Support in Discourse and Writing Skills', funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
His 15 most recent publications explore themes across oral and written narrative structures, classroom discourse, and semiotic resource integration. Notably, his 2019 work on perspectivity in learning processes and 2017 studies on multimodal resources in arithmetic education highlight his interdisciplinary approach. He has also co-edited special issues on classroom interaction and published monographs on topics like narrative as a process and knowledge generation in practice fields.
Ohlhus has collaborated extensively, co-authoring with scholars such as Uta Quasthoff, Friederike Kern, and Miriam Morek. His projects often bridge theoretical linguistics with practical educational applications, emphasizing the role of interactive contexts in textual competence development.
