L2TReC's Postdoctoral Research Associate, Elnaz Kia and Research Assistant Lynn Ricks presented at the 2024 American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages Conference (AATSEEL), February 15-18 in Las Vegas. AATSEEL is centered around the various communicative aspects of the Russian language and Slavic culture.  

Serving as an opportunity for Russian linguists, teachers and scholars to gather together and discuss the recent progress of language corpora, Kia and Ricks presented their research on one of the few developing Russian learner corpora: The Multilingual Corpus of Second Language Speech, or, MuSSeL. In their proposal, "Harnessing MuSSeL: Understanding the Teaching and Research Potential of a Spoken Russian Learner Corpus", Kia and Ricks discuss learner corpus research and how beneficial it has been as a resource for analyzing language development.
