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 program of EMLAR IV (Experimental Methods in
Language Acquisition Research).
