Meeting Description: 

The workshop aims at training advanced MA and PhD students working on first and
second language acquisition in experimental 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. 

We are glad to announce the fourth edition of EMLAR (Experimental Methods in
Language Acquisition Research). It will take place in Utrecht (The Netherlands)
