Her teachings at ESPE (school of education and teacher training centre) are directly associated with her research interests. They are aimed at future primary and secondary language teachers as well as other Masters in education. In charge of the European projects TILA (2013-2015) and TeCoLa (2016-2019) in France, dealing with language learners and teachers (German, English, Catalan, Spanish, French) in secondary schools, she also keeps developing intercultural telecollaboration learning environments for higher education to all learners of languages in different departments and within the training of teachers of languages or other subjects. She is particularly interested in language teachers and the ideologies conveyed through the notions of « native/non-native » that structure the whole field of language and culture learning and teaching regardless of contexts, and in the paradigm shift within this same field from monolingualism/monoculturalism to pluriligualism/ pluriculturalism.

Muriel Molinié

After having developed on her doctoral thesis Toward a relational approach of intercultural communication, professor Molinié hasn't stopped fostering a comprehensive and interpretative approach of plurilingualism, pluriculturalism in the education field (at the high teaching Faculty ) and on training  (initial and continuous) of teachers and pre-service teachers in France and internationally.

Functioning inside a multi-reference theoretical framework, their researchers on language and culture didactics have as objective: 

- Understand identity negotiations lived by plurilinguistic/pluricultural subjects on training or educative situations having into account their family and socio-historical inscriptions, their contexts (post-colonial, migratory circumstances and/ or international mobilities, etc..) and their projects (personal/professional);

- Implementing inter-comprehension educative devices about  proceses and plurilingual experiences and transcultural mobilities through a big range of mediations, facilitating the necessary links between experience knowledge and academic knowledge.
