To conclude our @LeverhulmeTrust Research Leadership Award in style, we thought we'd share a sneak peak into the life of an interdisciplinary team working on language learning @petarmilin @RoryApplin @artsatbham @Eng_Lang_UoB @LCAHM_UoB @EDACS_UoB

Here we are, or at least hereβs the local half of the team, ready to embark on our annual Xmas lunch, and thinking about our team members far, far away, in the US, China and Japan! Merry Xmas to us all π!

New paper out πΊ introducing process-based measures of automatisation in L2
The elicited imitation task is widely used as a measure of automatized L2 knowledge. However, the scoring of the task relies exclusively on product-based measures (i.e., accuracy of L2 production).
Are you curious about using computational models on your research on language, like we do? Sign up for our Summer School NOW βοΈ
The registration for the last #MEDAL #summerschool is open!
This years summer school will take place at @unibirmingham between the 23rd and 27th of June and is about computational linguistics.
The programme can be found on our website!
Hope to see you this summer!π
Hereβs @MackJustyna presenting our aspect training study: our error-correction model predicted faster and smoother learning for a grammar approach and slower and more variable learning for a lexical approach. Which type of learning deals with real language best?

Wonderful view on the history of corpus linguistics by @MBWaiheke and a reminder for @ooominds that we have allies in the past π₯°

From theory to practice: making sense of eye-tracking data @ooominds lab in preparation for a new @MedalLinguist research study!

This week we are hosting Piia Taremaa from @unitartu as part of @MedalLinguist mentoring initiative. Piaa gave a talk to @ooominds group about her eye-tracking study.
One of our team took her expertise off the beaten track and works with a medievalist on using eye tracking to explore how modern readers enable with manuscripts. Congratulations @ShiyuHe1 @artsatbham @LCAHM_UoB
Excited to share that the paper I co-authored with Professor Aengus Ward @EstoriadEspanna has been published! ππ We explore how modern readers engage with medieval manuscripts using eye-tracking technology. Special thanks to @ooominds track.smtpsendmail.com/90321β¦
Latest paper from our team - and our first registered report - with @LauRomain @petarmilin and @dagmardivjak now out in @_LangLearning, open access! @artsatbham @EDACS_UoB @Eng_Lang_UoB

Congratulations @ashleyrblake ! Being part of your supervisory team was a real pleasure! Wonderful to see the direct link between high-level theoretical work and real-world application #DLD
Delighted to have passed my PhD viva with minor corrections. Enormous thanks to Emma Hayiou-Thomas and @H_Breadmore, for insightful discussions, and to @paul_ccr for chairing. Thank you to my supervisors, Ewa Dabrowska, @dagmardivjak and @NickRiches1 for all your support. π
