Finally, #FlowLangGroup member Maarit Mutta @maaritmutta.bsky.social presented our work combining data from #FDF2 and #KISUVI projects, to examine learners' written and spoken profiles in the L1 + L2 and their anxiety during these tasks. Thanks again to the audience! #EuroSLA34 @koneensaatio.fi

Elina Lehtilä (#FlowLangGroup member and #ILFACT project researcher) did a very impressive job in summarizing her whole PhD and its four substudies in a 20-minute presentation on Friday morning 👏 #EuroSLA34

On Thursday, me & Clare Wright had the pleasure of presenting a new framework for studying fluency in interaction based on data from two projects (one of them being #FlowLangGroup #FDF2 that ended last year). Thanks to the audience for the discussion and feedback! #EuroSLA34

‌Yesterday we had the pleasure to present a part of the ILFACT project focusing on eye-tracking at the "Show what you got!" day organized by the Turku EyeLabs @utu.fi. Thanks to the audience for the helpful tips & interesting presentations on on-going/planned eye-tracking research! 🙏 #FlowLangGroup

Congrats to Veijo Vaakanainen who defended his PhD dissertation ”Dynamik och kontrast i konnektorbruket hos finska inlärare av L2-svenska” successfully today @utu.fi! Grattis 👏

Enjoying my time in Germany to the fullest! This week: complementary data collection, meeting w/ a Parisian colleague in Cologne + giving a guest lecture in Marburg. Also got to follow a lecture on intercultural communication by Loy Lising (in the middle in the 📷), as she was also visiting Marburg!

The #ILFACT data collection in Marburg this week was a success! So grateful for all the local help we received 🙏 To the wonderful student participants: thank you for contributing to fluency research!

Greetings from Germany! Next week, the #ILFACT project data collection continues at Philipps-University Marburg. Preparations are well under way and I’m looking forward to meeting local students on Monday! #FlowLangGroup

#multilingual #landscape spotted in Lleida, Spain last week. ❤️

Spent last week at the University of Lleida in Spain, invited by my colleague Alexandra Vraciu. Had a wonderful time meeting students from the Faculty of Education, planning future collaborations & presenting #FlowLangGroup fluency research to the research group Cercle de Lingüística Aplicada (📷).

Our doctoral programme Utuling’s annual field trip was organized in Paimio Sanatorium (designed by Aino and Alvar Aalto in 1929) this year. A fascinating place!

Had fun giving a presentation on my #fluency research at Young Academy Finland’s event earlier today. Learned a lot from the other presentations as well (and yes, I still take notes by hand)! #FlowLangGroup
