Social
The Language House is a multicultural community in which residents work together to develop fluency in a target language and an appreciation of the historical, geographical, and sociological world of the target culture(s). As part of its mission, the Language House seeks to engage the larger community of language learners on campus.
During Coffeeloquium, we dedicate the Language Science Center Hub to writing. We encourage you to block off as much of this time as possible to come to the LSC, have some caffeine, and get your writing done. At 12:30, reward your hard work by having lunch with colleagues (Language Science Lunch Time), and let them know what you've been working on.
On weeks without a Language Science Lunch Talk, we will have Language Science Lunch Time. Come have lunch with students and faculty from other departments and talk about what you're working on. If you can, we encourage you to participate in Coffeeloquium beforehand--3 hours of uninterrupted writing time in the company of your fellow language scientists.
The 12th annual Language Science Day is scheduled for Friday, October 28, 2022.
Language Science Day (LSD) is a signature annual event for Maryland's language science community, bringing together up to 200 students and faculty from across the university and affiliated centers. Participants get to know their fellow language scientists, exchange ideas, showcase their research, and discover opportunities for training or collaboration.
