Description

The Research Network on Learning and Teaching through a Foreign or Second Language is intended for researchers, teachers, teacher trainers and students. The research network’s field of operation is multi-perspective and multidisciplinary. The aim of the research network is to increase cooperation and dialogue between researchers, particularly those working with language immersion, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and teaching Finnish or Swedish as a second language. The research network also provides a forum for reviewing and developing applied linguistic activities in its core areas both nationally and internationally. The decisions on activities will be made annually in a meeting in the Autumn Symposium.
