Are you interested in language? In languages in a foreign setting? In what is i nvolved in speaking or learning more than one language?

The Ce nter for Language Science at Penn State has received a multi-year grant from the National Science Foundation as part of the Partnerships for Int ernational Research and Education (PIRE) program. The project is titled “Translating cognitive and brain science in the laboratory and fie ld to language learning environments,” and is designed to study th e way one or more languages are learned and used across the lifespan. Th e scope is very broad and includes the consequences of being or becoming bilingual, the use of minority languages and dialects, and the incorpor ation of research on language into the educational curriculum.

Und ergraduate students who participate in the PIRE program will have the op portunity to work closely with Penn State research faculty who study lan guage from a variety of perspectives. They will also spend a summer abro ad at one of our partner institutions (in Europe, Latin America, and Asi a) participating in collaborative projects, both in an academic setting and through educational and community outreach efforts. This is an excel lent opportunity to engage in hands-on research in an exciting field wit h significant social implications.

Expenses to travel abroad durin g the summer to conduct research (e.g., summer tuition, airfare, lodging , meals, incidentals) will be covered by the grant.

After re gistering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
