This workshop aims to explore the possibilities of improving the learning of multiple languages-a vital necessity for the expanded European Union. The workshop will attempt to identify possible ways forward to improve the situation, including the needs for research on various aspects including for example:
• The special needs of ‘poor language learners’
• Lifelong multiple language learning and retention issues—from children to senior citizens’
• Building Language Learning opportunities into multilingual cultural systems
Interdisciplinary Workshop on Advanced R&D in Culture X Technology
To bring together individuals & research groups from an eclectic range of perspectives to share current work & future plans and dreams. The core of the group is expected to be from UCL, but we hope that other academic, cultural institutions & local government will also participate.
