Lecture given in 5 time zones on 3 continents

This morning I gave a lecture in 5 different time zones, across 3 continents, in 2 languages (it was translated into Portuguese at one of the sites). The lecture was titled "Cross-linguistic aspects of communication development".

It was part of the "Different Languages, One World": Online seminar to Brazil and USA being conducted by

• East Tennessee State University, USA
• University of Northern Iowa, USA
• Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Brazil
• Universidade de São Paulo-Baurú, Brazil

The lecture covered the following topics: defining multilingualism, speech sounds of the world, multilingual speech acquisition, multilingual assessment and intervention. The presentation is here.

It was a lot of fun, and the Adobe Connect classroom even allowed for some interaction between the sites.
