L2 Portuguese @ Lancaster (L2P@L 2023)
Thursday 13 July 2023, 9:00am to Friday 14 July 2023, 5:00pm
Our conference
L2P@L 2023 is an international conference focusing on Portuguese as an additional language (L2, L3, L4, Ln).
We aim to bring together researchers and students from a variety of disciplines (linguistics, cognitive psychology, education, neuroscience, etc.) who share an interest in the acquisition, processing or teaching of L2 Portuguese across the lifespan and in a variety of settings (in the classroom and in the wild, face to face and in digital environments). We encouraged submissions independently of the variety of Portuguese being studied.
The conference is an event of the Heritage Language 2 Consortium (HL2C) and Lancaster University’s Camões Cátedra for Multilingualism and Diversity.
For more information, please the organizers via catedra-camoes@lancaster.ac.uk.
