Title: What Toddlers Can Teach Us About Language Learning
Body: From http://newsletter.clscholarship.org/2013/07/what-toddlers-can-teach-us-about.html What Toddlers Can Teach Us About Language Learning By Kacy Kostiuk July 23, 2013 Young kids pick up language quickly, but there's a lot we adults can learn from the way toddlers learn language. If we follow their lead (minus the tantrums!), we might be able to improve our own language learning abilities. Here are a few tips I've picked up from my toddler: Study words /grammar that matter to you. What can you do to motivate yourself? Have fun! Make it a game! Watch other people. Test out new words and concepts. Read the full article at http://newsletter.clscholarship.org/2013/07/what-toddlers-can-teach-us-about.html

Title: 2014 Institute on Collaborative Language Research
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-2975.html The 2014 Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang/InField) will be held at The University of Texas at Arlington in June and July 2014. The theme of the 2014 Institute will be oriented around Native American languages, but as with previous Institutes, there will be considerable international participation. The Institute takes place over a six week period in the summer, in years alternating with the LSA Summer Institute. It offers an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students, practicing linguists, and indigenous community members to develop and refine skills and approaches to language documentation and revitalization. The Institute is designed to provide an opportunity for a diverse range of participants to become trained in a wide range of skills in community centered language documentation. The Institute consists of two parts, lasting six weeks total. First, two weeks of intensive workshops focus on the practice and principles of documentary linguistics, ranging from new technology to interdisciplinary methods to best practices in ethical community collaborations. Following that, the Institute offers an optional four weeks of intensive field methods courses focused on several different endangered languages. These integrate the technology and documentation skills acquired during the preceding workshops. The entire six-week Institute thus offers those new to fieldwork the opportunity to put into practice the newly-acquired methods, technical skills, and collaborative approaches. Participants may choose to enroll only in the two week workshops. In terms of scheduling, we will convene during the following time periods: Workshops (June 16-27 2014), followed by the Field Methods/Practicum (June 30 – July 25, 2014). Registration: 01-Oct-2013 to 01-May-2014 For full details go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-2975.html
