From <b>10 to 14 September 2007</b>, the Centre for English Corpus
Linguistics (University of Louvain) will be organising a <br><br>
<font size=4><b>Summer School on Learner Corpus Research: From corpus
design to data interpretation <br><br>
</b></font>The aim of the Summer School is to introduce learner corpus
research through a series of lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions,
and to show how the challenges it presents can be met. It is intended
both for researchers who have recently embarked on a learner corpus
project and those who simply want to know more about this exciting field
of research.<br><br>
It will take place at the University of Louvain (UCL), in the elegant and
modern city of Louvain-la-Neuve, 30 km south of Brussels. <br><br>
