Organized by the Linguistics Research Centre of NOVA University Lisbon (CLUNL), with the support of Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), #LSSL2025 was held at School of Social Sciences and Humanities of NOVA University Lisbon between June 30 – July 4, 2025.
One of the courses offered in this edition of LSSL2025 focused on the research carried out within the scope of the PIPALE project:
“Assessment of linguistic development with a special focus on oral and written narratives”, Aida Cardoso, Joana Batalha & Maria Lobo (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa).
Course description:
This course will address the relationship between oral and written language at early acquisition stages, with a special focus on early narratives. We will discuss the importance of assessing oral language skills in early school years to identify problems in language development that may have an impact on written language and to plan early intervention to prevent academic underachievement. The course will then explore in more depth methods and instruments to assess oral and written narratives in early school years, discussing different measures of linguistic development and writing maturity.
