Initial results from the E-LENGUA subprojects will be presented and discussed; in E-LENGUA, colleagues from the universities of Salamanca, Bologna, Coimbra, Poitiers, Cairo, Heidelberg and from Trinity College Dublin are doing research on innovative virtual methods for teaching and studying foreign and second language acquisition, aiming at universal and unrestricted access to language learning.
At this event, national and international participants a Ph.D. students and junior scholars in particular are invited to present the results from their own research projects as well as their practical experience in foreign language teaching (poster presentations).
