Please join us again in 2025-202 for our monthly Friday lunchtime online English-language seminars from London, a collaboration of the School of Languages and Applied Linguistics at the Open University, UK and DiscourseNet.
To join our seminars, you will need to register: just log into your discourseanalysis.net account (you may create one for free on the top right, which may well take two days) and then click 'Join Group' on the top left-hand side. You will then receive regular seminar announcements via email.
The seminars are open to everybody and free of charge but participants are encouraged to become members of the DiscourseNet Association. All sessions are public, recorded and disseminated on social media. By joining our online session, all participants agree to being recorded. All recordings, the latest version of the programme and the booking links will be posted on the group's page.
