>CALL FOR PAPERS: Linking Teaching and Research in languages, linguistics
>and area studies
>9-10 July 2007
>University of Southampton
>Debates about the links between teaching and research in UK higher
>education have intensified in recent years,as both teaching and research
>have come under increased pressure for performance, accountability and
>assessment. Increasingly, institutions and individual staff are being
>defined as led by either teaching or research, and the link between
>research and teaching is by turns derided - and hotly defended.
>This two-day conference aims to address how these issues impact on LLAS
>researchers and teachers. There is a charge for this event (Fee
>tbc). For more details and to submit a paper, please download a form at:
