As well as all the exciting activities we have around the room at the Dublin Language Garden, we will also be running a busy programme of talks around a variety of topics in the study of language, from the reasons why we study linguistics, to the experience of learning English as a second language.

Hi Valerie,
Thanks for the comment. We’re still finalising our programme for this year, and also gradually updating the website. This page is yet to be updated, so the schedule you’re seeing at the moment is for 2015. We’ll make it very clear that the schedule has been updated when we have it finalised (but thanks for the prompt!)
