SLLAT talks generally take place on Wednesdays, 12pm to 1pm. However, this year, a few talks will take place on Thursday, 5pm to 6pm. These are joint sessions with the Heritage/Second Language Consortium (HL2C), of which Lancaster University is part. SLLAT members are welcome (and encouraged) to attend these events, too. For more information, or to get involved, please visit the HL2C website.
Abstracts are usually available one week before each talk. To download the abstract, simply click on the title links.
Talks will take place on MS Teams. We will circulate the Teams link via the SLLAT mailing list, so please remember to join our mailing list in advance (how to join).
