From 10 to 14 September 2007, the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (University of Louvain) will be organising a

Summer School on Learner Corpus Research: From corpus design to data interpretation

The aim of the Summer School is to introduce learner corpus research through a series of lectures, workshops and hands-on sessions, and to show how the challenges it presents can be met. It is intended both for researchers who have recently embarked on a learner corpus project and those who simply want to know more about this exciting field of research.

It will take place at the University of Louvain (UCL), in the elegant and modern city of Louvain-la-Neuve, 30 km south of Brussels.
