Dear Colleagues,
Herewith further details of the residence abroad workshop advertised
earlier:
LTSN Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies
Workshop
Making Residence Abroad Work: approaches beyond
language learning
When: Friday 24th November 2000
Where: CILT, London
Who should attend:Staff from any discipline where students
undertake a period of residence abroad
Preparation for residence abroad for students has been extensively
developed in recent work by three FDTL (Fund for the Development
of Teaching and Learning) Languages projects, but it has been
recognised that the materials and methodologies developed and
the good practices identified can be equally useful for students in
other disciplines for whom study abroad forms part of their course.
While these students may not have language learning as their
principal motivation for spending time abroad they will certainly find
themselves involved in cross-cultural exchanges and will encounter
the many practical challenges of living, studying or working abroad.
This workshop, therefore, will draw upon the work done by the
LARA (Learning and Residence Abroad), Residence Abroad
Project and Interculture projects and is intended to help staff
prepare their students for residence abroad and to better integrate
that experience into their course as a whole. It will also consider
issues relating to the accreditation of study abroad.
