NEW RESEARCH INTO RESIDENCE ABROAD

Invitation to a one-day research seminar 
11 June 2001
CILT, 20 Bedfordbury, Covent Garden, London

Since 1993, the Universities of Duisburg, Bochum and 
Portsmouth have been collaborating on research into aspects 
of university language learning, with the support of the 
Academic Collaboration Programme of the British Council and 
Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst. With the retirement 
of Professor Ulrich Raatz, 2001 also marks the completion 
of a joint project developing new tools to investigate the 
role of residence abroad in advanced language learning, and 
provides an ideal opportunity to bring together leading 
researchers in the field.
