| LAL Postgraduate Speed Paper Session | The purpose of this is for linguistics and applied linguistics research postgraduates to meet, get to know each other and hear a little about each other's research. Please come along armed with a four minute (4 slide) speed paper outlining some aspect of your current research. Don't stress about this too much -- the idea is simply to present one aspect of your research in a friendly, informal atmosphere to fellow postgrads. If you really don't want to give a small speed paper, then please still come along anyway. |
