Announcing LEXinars!

Update: Please contact us for currently scheduled LEXinars!

LEX is pleased to announce the first offerings of LEXinars, offerings for language study via online conferencing.

The first LEXinar will be offered this summer; two schedules are being offered. Our topic is The Spell of Spelling and the Glamour of Grammar, which will investigate the intersections of English orthography with English syntax. We’ll take a look at how both spelling and grammar have been historically and culturally characterized as magical or tricky, and we’ll peel back those perspectives to understand how both spelling and grammar make sense.

Session I: Fridays, June 6, 13, 20, 27, and Monday June 30: 2:00pm – 3:30pm Central Daylight Time

Session II: Mondays, June 16, 23, 30, and July 7 and 14: 9:30am – 11:00 am Central Daylight Time

Each registration is good for one person at one computer or tablet. Schedules may not be mixed. You may inquire or register via email or by filling out our contact form here, and online payment can be made at this link. Space is limited and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Later this summer, we’ll offer Old English for Orthographers. Once we get these underway, we’ll consider additional topics.

A tip of the hat to Real Spelling, who’s launched the wonderfully enlightening Spellinars!

We hope you can join us!

  1. So sorry that we can’t mix days, as travel and business plans have been set in stone! Shirley Jordan, NW Ill.

    • I understand your frustration, Shirley, but I wouldn’t dream of compromising the depth or quality of the LEXinar experience for convenience, mine or anyone else’s. Fortunately, other LEXinars will be added later on, and this one will be offered again, so this won’t be the last opportunity. Also, if you can cobble together a group of 4 or more people, I can schedule a LEXinar according to your (collective) scheduling needs. Feel free to contact me with a scheduling request.

  2. I am not sure these dates work as summer plans are already made. I hope you can offer these again in the future. I need this information so I can be a better teacher.
