With support from the Nuffield Languages Programme, ten universities

of the European Language Portfolio (ELP) during the first semester of
the next academic year. Case studies based on a range of different
learning contexts and a workshop to be held in early March will be the
end result. If any other colleagues who are thinking of implementing
the ELP would like to join in the process and the discussions we will
be having, please contact Vicky Wright ([log in to unmask]) for further
information. We regret that there is no further funding available.
