Events

Students at Georgetown have many opportunities throughout the year to attend talks by cutting-edge researchers in the field of SLA. Conferences are often held in the DC area (e.g., AAAL 2008, the CBBC annual workshop), and Georgetown University has hosted GURT (the Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics) every year since 1948. In 2009, the theme of GURT will be "The implicit/explicit dichotomy in SLA & Bilingualism: Conditions, processes, and knowledge". Georgetown also regularly welcomes prominent speakers to give talks on campus.
