Stakeholder Workshops
University of Warwick, 3rd May, 2019
University of Edinburgh, 6th September, 2019
Over two workshops, we met with groups of Teaching fellows in Early Years Education, Early Years Practitioners, Speech & Language Therapists and Educational Psychologists to discuss the themes of our research and how to make this relevant to the public and to relevant stakeholders.
Each workshop began with three presentations introducing the research project and the theories behind the research, the methodology of syntactic priming that the project focusses on understanding, methods of communication of our research.
This was followed by an informal, round table discussion of the themes and ideas introduced in those talk and any other issues raised by participants, including ways to communicate our research to them and who else might be interested, ways in which their practice could or already does adopt similar methods, and who might benefit from increased modelling of syntactic structures.
These discussions were highly useful to us in shaping how we think about our research and delivering our findings to a broader audience.
