Being selected among applicants from universities and institutes in Japan, the participants are dispatched to Japan Center for Middle Eastern Studies in Beirut to present their papers in English for 25-30 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes of questions, comments, and discussions from/with the invited researchers from Lebanon and other countries.http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/en/training/meis/beirut-semi/Seminars on the Middle East and Islamic StudiesILCAA offers various workshops on “field linguistics”, aimed especially at graduate and post-graduate students and junior scholars.Workshops offered are mostly but not exclusively on documentation and description of underdocumented languages. They are complementary to courses offered at universities in Japan, thereby lling the gaps in the training of young linguists -- an important role of ILCAA.At most of the Field Linguistics Workshops, participants are required to bring their original data, i.e., data obtained through their original field research. The instructors give guidance, but the participants also learn from each other, through sharing their ideas and experience.There are three series of workshops under Field Linguistics Workshops:Documentary Linguistics WorkshopThis Workshop aims to provide methodological and technical training in various aspects of language documentation research. This Workshop series is run in collaboration with the Hans Rausing Endangered Languages Project at SOAS, University of London. Grammatical Studies WorkshopsWorkshops on various grammatical topics.Technical WorkshopsWorkshops on technical issues concerning eld linguistics, such as gathering, managing and processing linguistic data.http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/en/training/eldling-ws/
