2024 International Symposium on Cross-linguistic Research

On October 16, 2024, the international symposium “Expanding Horizons: Cross-linguistic and Multicultural Perspectives in Neurogenic Communication Disorders”, hosted by the Neurogenic Language Disorders Laboratory at Ewha Womans University, concluded successfully.

The symposium was held in person at Ewha Womans University, providing a valuable opportunity for researchers and students to engage in direct dialogue and broaden their perspectives on ongoing research. The event featured a series of insightful presentations by distinguished scholars in the field of neurogenic communication disorders.

Through this event, participants were able to explore diverse cultural and linguistic approaches to neurogenic communication disorders, gaining valuable insights and engaging in meaningful academic exchange. In addition to NABLe members, master’s students from the Department of Communication Disorders at Ewha Womans University also took part in the symposium. One student shared, “It was an incredibly meaningful experience—something I could not have encountered anywhere else.”

We look forward to continued academic collaboration and growth in the years to come.

2024년 10월 16일, 이화여대 신경언어장애연구실에서 개최한 국제 심포지엄 ‘Expanding Horizons: Cross-linguistic and Multicultural Perspectives in Neurogenic Communication Disorders’가 성황리에 마무리되었습니다. 

이번 심포지엄은 이화여대에서 대면으로 진행되었으며, 연구자와 학생들이 직접 소통하며 연구에 대한 시각을 넓힐 수 있는 귀중한 기회였습니다. 현재 신경언어 분야에서 저명한 교수님들의 다음과 같은 귀중한 발표가 이어졌습니다.

이를 통해 신경언어장애 분야의 다양한 문화적·언어적 접근을 탐구하며, 학문적 교류와 배움을 얻을 수 있었습니다. NABLe 선생님들뿐만 아니라 이화여자대학교 언어병리학과 석사과정 선생님들도 참석하여, ‘어디에서도 경험할 수 없었던 값진 시간을 가져 정말 뜻깊었다’고 말씀해 주셨습니다. 앞으로도 지속적인 학문적 교류와 발전을 이어가기를 기대합니다.
