The research group PORTT at the Department of English and the Centre for Competence Development of Justus Liebig University, Giessen, investigates cognitive processes of text reception, production and translation using methods such as think-aloud, key logging, screen recording and eye tracking.

It focuses on the analysis of competence development both in the research participants' L1 and their L2 up to the level of expertise. Findings are being used to improve the teaching and acquisition of these competences. For more Information, please visit the PORTT website.
