The School is directed at graduates, postgraduate and advanced

linguistics and real-world practice. Participants will explore the
value of linguistic research for educational settings – including the
growing role of digital tools and AI in language teaching – as well as
the role of language in the cognitive and linguistic profiles of
monolingual and bilingual learners across neurotypical and
neurodivergent development. The programme also addresses research on
the effectiveness of interventions in schools, health, and social
welfare structures designed to support language development in these
groups.
The intensive short programme (36 hours) offers 1.5-hour sessions
across two core themes – Language & Health and Language & Education –
taught by leading experts from the UK and Greece.
The School aspires to foster a community of scholars and practitioners
committed to ensuring that advances in linguistic science find
meaningful application in education, health, and social welfare.
