Center for Language Learning, Department of Language and Communication, University of Southern Denmark, is organizing 15. Nordiske Symposium om Børnesprog [15th Nordic Symposium on Child Language]. The symposium will take place at the University of Southern Denmark from May 23-24, 2018.

- the relationship between language development in the preschool years and later acquisition of written language/reading skills
- the influence of persistent language difficulties on the acquisition of written language/reading skills
- bilingual children’s acquisition of written language/reading skills
- deaf and hearing impaired children's acquisition of written language/reading skills
