Omschrijving	In this research module, students will learn about a range of advances in research relevant to the field of developmental language disorders. These concern novel definitions and terminology, as well as research uncovering the underlying nature of the impairments responsible for language symptoms observed in children with developmental language disorders. Furthermore, in several (guest) lectures, research in DLD regarding screening, diagnostics and therapy will be presented from both a practical and a theoretical background, and students are encouraged to discuss topics from their own backgrounds. Through guided work, conducted to complete class assignments, students will learn to write a critical review of the literature on a topic of interest to the field. Students will also develop a research proposal relevant to the field of developmental language disorders. Research tasks in the course of this project will involve a combination of several (but not necessarily all) of these steps: review the literature, design an experiment, writing a research report that answers the research question, and present your ideas. Practical seminars will help students acquire the research skills necessary to carry out the research tasks. Students will present their results individually and in small groups (oral presentations) and write an individual essay.
