LAMiNATE at EuroSLA33
Serveral LAMiNATErs participated in the 33rd installment of the European second language association (EuroSLA) conference held in Montpellier 3–6 July, some as presenters and some as part of the audience.
The day before the main conference, a doctoral workshop provides PhD students with the opportunity to discuss their work with a senior researcher. This year, Helene Springer (supervised by LAMiNATE’s Marianne Gullberg and Frida Splendido) participated and discussed her upcoming studies on audiovisual perception of vowels with Joan C. Mora. Marianne Gullberg also served as a discussant in a session on multimodality in language acquisition.
LAMiNATErs further participated both with oral presentations and with posters. In the main conference, LAMiNATErs delivered two presentations.
- Anders Agebjörn and Robert Wallin: “Writing development in adult L2 learners of varying educational backgrounds”
- Céline Rocher Hahlin, Alastair Henry, Joost Van de Weijer, Jonas Granfeldt “Perceptual curiosity in L2 learning: construct development and scale validation”
The poster sessions featured three LAMiNATE contributions:
- Malin Ågren: “Methods and methodological challenges in the study of morphology in L2 French”
- Jonas Granfeldt, Céline Rocher Hahlin, Joost Van de Weijer and Alastair Henry: “Motivation to learn a second foreign language in upper secondary school: A preregistered intervention study”
- Lari-Valtteri Suhonen & Anders Agebjörn: “We Have Friend – Exploring Preference in Article Use in L1 Finnish Adult Learners of English and Swedish”
All in all a very fruitful conference!
