Meeting Description:

Next in line for the conferences organised under the aegis of the
Learner Corpus Association, LCR 2024 in Tartu will bring together
researchers, language instructors and software developers with a
common interest in the use of learner corpora for research on second
language acquisition, as well as for the enhancement of language
pedagogy and language assessment. The conference aims to provide a
forum for discussion and presentation of latest research by offering
LCA members and other researchers in the field of Learner Corpus
research a chance to meet up, introduce their latest ideas and
findings and establish new contacts, get novel perspectives and find
new tools to enhance their research potential, as well as
international cooperation.

Recognizing Estonia's unique position as the homeland of a
lesser-known non-Indo-European language, it is fitting to shine a
spotlight on corpus research that delves into the learning of smaller
languages and by learners with less common L1 backgrounds. However,
research focused on any languages, even those extensively studied, is,
as always, most welcome.

Below, you will find the most essential details about the conference.
