SUBJECT CENTRE EVENTS:
1. 	FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS
	29 October 2004, CILT, LONDON

This event follows on from the Seminar entitled "English Language and Linguistics: from A-level to BA" which the Subject Centre ran in October 2003.  This year we are running a complementary event focussing on curriculum issues at first year undergraduate level and how they relate to admission requirements, including "A" level. 
For more information about this event and our online registration form please go to :
http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/llaseventitem.aspx?resourceid=2189

2.	MAKING SENSE OF COPYRIGHT
	24 November 2004, CILT, LONDON
	The tangled web - making sense of copyright in developing and exploiting on-line resources

This workshop will address a number of key issues in using third party copyright materials in developing teaching and learning resources for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies.  The event will consist of a series of presentation and discussion sessions and case studies from the field.  
Further information, a location map and registration details can be found on the Subject Centre website at :
http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/llaseventitem.aspx?resourceid=2060

3.	NEW METHODS IN LITERARY LINGUISTICS AND THEIR RELEVANCE FOR LINGUISTICS AND 	LITERARY STUDENTS
	26 November 2004
	SCHOOL OF AFRICAN AND ORIENTAL STUDIES, University of London

PLEASE NOTE: There has been a CHANGE OF VENUE for this event.  It will now be held in the Brunei Gallery, SOAS, University of London. 
A location map can be viewed at : http://www.soas.ac.uk/gallery/findus.html
This event will consist of four sessions that will give a short account of the intellectual base for the field together with practical sessions on applications of linguistic techniques to literary studies.  The full programme is now available on the Subject Centre website together with the Registration Form.  
Please go to: http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/llaseventitem.aspx?resourceid=2122 

4.	DISCIPLINARY IDENTITY OF AREA STUDIES
	29 November 2004
	CILT, LONDON
	
This conference, being organised by the Subject Centre, aims to discuss the nature of Area Studies and its value to its composite disciplines, its contribution to teaching and research and most importantly whether Area Studies itself is, or can become, a discipline.
To register for the conference please use the online registration form at : 
http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/events/llaseventitem.aspx?resourceid=2166

5.	LEARNING AND TEACHING COORDINATORS FOR LANGUAGES, LINGUISTICS
	AND AREA STUDIES

The Subject Centre is hoping to set up a Special Interest Group for teaching staff who have this role in their department/school.  The group would probably meet about once a year to discuss issues of common concern and an email discussion list could be set up.  If you would be interested in joining such a group or would like to discuss this further, please contact Liz Ashurst at the Subject Centre ([log in to unmask])

SUBJECT CENTRE CALLS FOR BIDS:
6.	MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (NEW)
The Subject Centre's Materials Bank (www.llas.ac.uk/mb) has been set up to encourage and facilitate the sharing of teaching materials in Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies.  The Subject Centre is currently seeking to expand and develop this resource and is making some funds available for the development of additional materials for the Bank. We are inviting bids for small-scale projects (max £5000 per project) which will develop new materials that can be made available for sharing across the sector. Projects should, therefore, relate to materials that address an area of need (e.g. lack of good/available resources), a particular teaching issue/method/tool or relate to a core aspect of a discipline. Further details and an application form can be found at: www.llas.ac.uk . The closing date for applications is 30th November 2004 and projects will begin in January 2005.
