LATTE

Description

LATTE (LAnguage Talk and Topics Exchange) is an informal conversation group for those interested in all things language-related.

The Vanderbilt University English Language Center (ELC) launched LATTE to build a cohesive and collaborative group for language enthusiasts from throughout Vanderbilt to come together and discuss research interests. The group intends to cover a wide range of language-related topics, including language-teaching pedagogy, processing and analysis of speech, using corpora in language research, innovations in speech/language intervention, literacy, psycholinguistics, and bilingual approaches to language therapy. Attendees will help to shape the schedule of topics covered throughout the semester. Sessions include paper discussions, work in progress meetings, data blitzes, and more.

If you are interested in leading a meeting this fall, please sign up for a date, category, and topic using this Google sheet.  
 
LATTE meetings for the Fall 2022 Semester are held on Fridays at 10:30 a.m. in ELC Room 200 or via Zoom via Zoom: https://bit.ly/3Ok07mo
