Subject: nwcl training centre
Following our successful ESRC funded research
training events, the North West Centre for
Linguistics is establishing a Research Training
Centre in language and linguistics. The Centre,
which is funded for three years by the HEFCE
Collaboration Programme in Modern Languages,
will provide research training courses in a
variety of topics in theoretical and applied
linguistics and in research methodology. These
courses will be at a variety of levels, thus
meeting the needs of students who are moving
from MA programmes into M.Phil and PhD
programmes as well as students already
embarked on their research programmes.
There will be two events each year, a one-week
event in spring and a two-week event in autumn.
They will be held either at the University of
Manchester or at the University of Salford, and
will include both 5-day courses and half-day
sessions on a variety of different topics. Courses
will be available to students from throughout
Britain (fees to be announced). A limited amount
of student sponsorship will be available from the
LAGB and BAAL. Details will be announced
shortly.
The first event will take place from 18 March to
22 March 2002, and will include the annual
NWCL lecture with guest speaker Fritz
Newmeyer (Washington State). The training
event will be followed by the annual Manchester
PG conference.
