Local
Programme: promoting the self-access on-line student
|
|
|
The contribution in the
field of the study of English linguistics and translation
that this project is designed to meet relates to the emergence
of the self-access on-line student, and in
particular the need to assist in the creation of self-access
training modules capable of using the considerable IT
and human resources available at a time when the credit/debit
system has become an important part of University life.
The project thus relates to the
development of on-line language and translation services
considered essential supports for research and training
in the current University context in which research in
the field of English is taking place. These developments
include the merger of two previously separate disciplines
(English Translation; English Linguistics and Language)
into one; the greater demand for English with its introduction
into all diploma, degree and postgraduate courses as a
result of the current reorganisation of courses in Universities;
and finally the widespread and increasing use of telematics
and distance communication services.
