Abstract
In analysing how students solve spatial geometrical tasks, I am interested in how language can play a role in the students’ solving process. In a wider context, I intend to study the relationship between language and spatial ability for a deeper understanding of language and content learning in mathematics education. This section provides an overview of the theoretical frameworks in both domains of language and spatial ability, followed by theoretical considerations on the integration of both domains based on findings from previous literature.
