The Interdisciplinary Lab "Linguistics and Grammar Teaching", National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and the Cambridge Centre for Greek Studies, University of Cambridge, UK are delighted to invite you to take part in the 1st International Summer School on Language: Health & Education (LangHealEdu) to be held in person on the island of Chios in the Aegean Sea.
The School is directed at graduates, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students with an interest in the relationship between linguistics and real-world practice. Participants will explore the value of linguistic research for educational settings as well as the linguistic profiles of monolingual and bilingual learners across neurotypical and neurodivergent development. The programme also addresses research on the effectiveness of interventions in schools, health, and social welfare structures designed to support language development in these groups.
The intensive short programme (36 hours) offers 1.5-hour sessions across two core themes – Language & Health and Language & Education – taught by leading experts from the UK and Greece.
The School aspires to foster a community of scholars and practitioners committed to ensuring that advances in linguistic science find meaningful application in education, health, and social welfare.
Further details on registration, fees, and application deadlines will be announced shortly.
