Researchers in the Department of Linguistics and international collaborators are examining how children learn words and sentences.

This project is one of the first to connect this aspect of children’s speech to their understanding. Come for two fun-filled one-hour visits and receive $60 in gift vouchers and two small gifts as a thank you.

Children aged between two and five with normal hearing who speak mainly English at home are invited to the Activity Lab in the Australian Hearing Hub.

These visits can take place on weekdays or Saturdays, and the researchers are also taking bookings in the September school holidays if you’re looking for a fun activity.

The Activity Lab is pram and wheelchair accessible and has a comfortable playroom if you need some extra space.

Each visit involves watching stories and videos and describing what funny characters are doing in pictures.

If you would like to be involved or find out more, please fill out an expression of interest form or get in touch for more information at margaret.ryan@mq.edu.au
