This report describes, firstly, the origin and development of the project, andsecondly, based on the data collected from the questionnaires filled out by theparticipants, this report shows the most relevant results of the first edition ofthe project.
期刊介绍:
Language Learning in Higher Education deals with the most relevant aspects of language acquisition at university. The CercleS journal presents the outcomes of research on language teaching, blended learning and autonomous learning, language assessment as well as aspects of professional development, quality assurance and university language policy. Its aim is to increase the quality of language teaching and learning programmes offered by university language centers and other providers in higher education by presenting new models and by disseminating the best results of research activities carried out at language centers and in other higher education departments.
