Edina Krompák is an educational scientist and lecturer at the School of Teacher Education of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. She graduated from the School of Teacher Education of the University of Nyíregyháza and the University of Miskolc (Hungary) with a specialization in education science and languages (Hungarian, Russian, and German). She also holds a Swiss National Science Foundation-funded PhD degree from the University of Zurich, where she developed an expertise in cognitive psychology in education and educational linguistics. Precisely, she examined first and second languages development in the context of heritage language courses. Her main research field is multilingual language use and identity in educational contexts. Her current research interests are ethnic and local identities in linguistic landscapes, exploration of individual translingual practices by future teachers, and the relationship of linguistic landscape and educational spaces. Her research and teaching delve into multi-disciplinary topics from education science, sociolinguistics and linguistic ethnography.
