Seminars
If you would like to receive updates about upcoming seminars, please complete this form.
We have now completed 19 monthly online seminars that guide researchers through the process of compiling a sketch corpus and writing an acquisition sketch (see the recordings and slides below). Following on from that, we have started a new series of online seminars. The sessions of the new series will be recorded and available for one month, for those who are unable to attend the session in real time. Unlike the tutorial sessions, the sessions will not be permanently available. A link to view the presentation will be sent out via the Acquisition Sketch Google Group mailing list.
The next Acquisition Sketch Project Meeting is on "An in-progress look at the Maltese Acquisition Sketch”, presented by Alexandra Vella and her team.
It will be held on Wednesday September 9 as follows:
Los Angeles = 8 am
Mexico City = 9 am
New York = 11 pm
Berlin = 5 pm
Tbilisi = 7 pm
Delhi = 8:30 pm

FUTURE SCHEDULE
Our new series focuses on sketches in progress. In each session, one or more people will present advances and issues from their ongoing sketches. This will give us all a chance to see other sketches in development and discuss questions.
Meetings will be held once per month, on the second Wednesday of the month. Each session will only be held once. We will alternate times each month - usually one month at Berlin 9 am and the next month at Berlin 5 pm.
Next meetings:
Weds October 14 at 9 am Berlin time: "An in-progress look at the Lhukonjo Acquisition Sketch” presented by Celestino Oriikiriza & Sigal Uziel-Karl
