EMLAR IV
6th-8th November 2007, Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS

We are glad to announce the fourth edition of EMLAR (Experimental Methods in
Language Acquisition Research). It will take place in Utrecht (The
Netherlands) from the 6th till the 8th of November 2007 with a brand new
program. The workshop aims at training advanced MA and PhD students working
on first and second language acquisition in experimental research. A series
of lectures will be given by experts in various domains of language
acquisition research. Lectures cover language testing methods, statistics,
computational modelling of acquisition, longitudinal studies, language
proficiency tests and sentence processing among other things. Participants
are also offered practical sessions on PRAAT, SPSS (introductory and
advanced), statistics with R, CHILDES, CELEX, web-based experiments and
E-Prime.
