Labfon – Virtual Training in Experimental Methods
Goals
Acquiring applied knowledge about experimental methodologies to study voice, speech, language and behaviour, following a hands-on approach.
Audience
Students (undergraduate and graduate) and researchers interested in language, and language related areas, professionals (educators, teachers, psychologists, audiologists, and speech therapists).
