Living Together
The European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) works to promote innovations in the teaching and learning of modern languages. This volume contains the proceedings of the third international colloquy which was attended by experts from over 30 countries and was organised in co-operation with the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education and Culture.
Language Centres
Language centres serve an important role in the development and implementation of language policy and in supporting language teachers. This book describes five language centres, the Centre for Information on Language Teaching and Research (London), the European Centre for Modern Languages (Graz), the Regional Language Centre (Singapore), the National Foreign Language Center (NFLC, Washington DC), and the Centre for Applied Linguistics and Languages (CALL, Brisbane). These contrasting centres provide the basis for a discussion of the roles, functions and management of language centres and the challenges facing such centres (and universities in general) arising from tensions between the pursuit of academic excellence and the demands of commercialisation and economic rationalism. The author holds a chair in applied linguistics in Griffith University and has written extensively on language policy and its implementation and on language assessment. He has established and directed three language centres since the mid-1980s, including CALL since 1990, and is an Adjunct Fellow of NFLC.
Content Design and Methodology of Seminars, Workshops and Congresses
The aim of this handbook is to provide a guide for conference organisation, and to formulate principles for the effectiveness of organisational formats such as seminars, workshops and presentations. It provides guidelines both for those already involved in the content aspect of conference organisation, as well as for those who are new to the area. The principles outlined draw upon experience in terms of language teaching, but can equally be applied to a wide range of other fields.

Language Learner Autonomy
This volume offers a collection of essays addressing contemporary issues in foreign and second language education. In particular, it addresses language learner autonomy, both as a theoretical construct and in relation to areas of application such as the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the European Language Portfolio (ELP), teacher training, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and minority language provision. The contributors - well-known researchers, policy makers, teachers and teacher trainers - provide a multi-faceted insight into an innovative and influential approach to language education. David Little, to whom the volume is dedicated, was Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics and Head of the School of Linguistic, Speech and Communication Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. He is recognised worldwide as a leading proponent of the theory of language learner autonomy, and has been a driving force behind many influential language education initiatives internationally.
