Dear colleagues, 

Apologies for possible cross-posting. 

We would like to bring to your attention that the Nordic Speech Research Forum is back after a summer break.  

The Nordic Speech Research Forum convenes online to hear about and discuss interesting ongoing work in the broad area of speech research. Invited speakers mainly represent Nordic scholars at different career stages. In 2024, we will convene on varying weekdays and times to test which meeting time would be optimal. The talks (30–40 mins) will be followed by discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.   

On Tue, Sept 17, we have an opportunity to listen to Professor Jacques Koreman from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Professor Koreman’s talk is about online pronunciation learning. Please join us and feel free to spread the word! 

What? Prof. Jacques Koreman’s talk: Developing L2 pronunciation skills: goals and hurdles for online learning + discussion. 

When? Tue, Sept 17 at 16:00–17:00 Finnish time (UTC+3)
