We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Language Impairment in
Bilingual and Multilingual Societies to take place at Bangor University
on July 21, 2012. The aim of the workshop is to bring together
researchers, academics, speech and language therapists and health
professionals who work with children with typical and atypical language
development. The emphasis will be on language development in a bilingual
and/or a multilingual setting.
<br>
<br>We are happy to host talks by distinguished researchers in the field of
bilingualism and language impairment, such as Prof. Fred Genesee (McGill
University, Canada), Prof. Shula Chiat (City University London, UK), Dr.
Sharon Arnom-Lotem (Bar-Ilan University, Israel), Prof. Elin
Thordadottir (McGill University, Canada), Dr Carolyn Letts (Newcastle
University, UK) and Dr. Kamila Polisenska (Manchester University, UK).
The talks will cover a range of issues such as bilingual development,
bilingual literacy, language assessments for bilingual children, and
diagnostic tools of language impairment in bilingual children.
