Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend an invitation for the forthcoming International
Conference for Learner Corpus Research (LCR) in 2024. Organized under the aegis
of the Learner Corpus Association, this event brings together researchers,
language instructors, and software developers who share an interest in using
learner corpora for research. LCR 2024 in Tartu aspires to provide a favourable
environment for dialogue and most recent research, allowing LCA members and
other scholars in the field of LCR to share their latest ideas and findings.
Recognizing Estonia's unique position as the homeland of a lesser-known
non-Indo-European language, we see it as suitable to prioritize corpus research
that delves into the learning of smaller languages and by learners with less
common L1 backgrounds. However, research focused on languages, even those
extensively studied, is, as always, mostly welcomed.
Below, you will find the most essential details about the conference.

Gaëtanelle Gilquin (Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium)
