Linguapolis Summer School on Design-Based Research

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Linguapolis, the Institute for Language and Communication of the University of
Antwerp, organises, from 22 to 27 August 2010, a Summer School course on
qualitative and quantitative research methods in language learning and teaching: 

A Toolbox for Design-Based Research 

Lecturers are Sven De Maeyer, PhD and Vincent Donche, PhD (Institute of
Education and Information Sciences, University of Antwerp).

The course will focus on methodological considerations in designing and
conducting empirical research. We will highlight the practical issues involved
in the use of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Insight will be
given into the most commonly used data-collection techniques such as surveys,
interviews, and observation. Further we will analyse how to generate more
data-driven conclusions.

The target group is researchers in language learning and teaching who need to
investigate user data or results of specific design practices and experiments in
a more evidence-based manner. The number of participants is limited to 25.
Timely registration (or reservation) is therefore necessary.

This Summer School can be combined with Antwerp CALL 2010: Motivation and beyond
(18-20 August 2010). Participants of CALL 2010 get a reduction for the Summer
School. 

Check http://summerschool.linguapolis.be for more information and registration

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
