*AIM:* The second truly global /L+/ summer/winter school on language
acquisition aims to promote knowledge about language acquisition and
establish a global network of collaboration between researchers and
students. Students will have the opportunity to learn about current
theories and controversies in first language acquisition, as well as about
basic experimental and analytical methods to implement in their research
studies.

*MOTIVATION: *Although the ability to use language is universal in human
cultures, there is a long-standing debate as to whether language develops
in similar ways or whether it varies across populations and, if so, why.
This debate would benefit from more studies including a variety of
languages. However, less than 5% of published studies deal with acquisition
in non-European languages. This gap is exacerbated by the fact that many
talented students, teachers and researchers in underrepresented areas do
not have access to specialist literature, research equipment, or
international collaborative networks. The online /L+/ International
summer/winter school on language acquisition aims at contributing to
reducing this gap.

*TUITION: *Participation in the /L+/ school is *free of charge.*

*WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: *Students at all levels (BA – PhD) and early career
researchers from all regions, but *particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, South
and Southeast Asia, and South and Central America*, are encouraged to
participate. There are no prerequisites in terms of specific knowledge or
skills.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing students are encouraged to apply, as we will try
our best to provide International Sign Language interpreters in as many
streams as possible. All the lectures are subtitled and closed captions can
be provided during the tutorials and discussions.

*TOPICS: *The lecture topics are organized into four different streams:

1. Phonological development
2. Lexical development
3. Morphosyntax development
4. Effects of the environment on development

Each stream will consist of five 45-minute lectures that will be taught by
instructors with extensive expertise in theory and methods in these
different subfields of language acquisition. Each lecture will also be
followed by live discussion sessions with experts in the field.

*STRUCTURE: *The activities will develop in an online format that will
combine synchronous (live) and asynchronous (pre-recorded) events in order
to encourage the participation of students and researchers in their time
zone.
When registering, participants will be asked to choose two streams.
However, everyone is welcome to attend more than two streams, if desired.
Participants will also be able to take part in live practical sessions and
networking events.

Additionally, several universities will provide venues for local hubs
