0100,0100,0100Times New RomanCorrected version NWCL Research Training Following our successful ESRC funded research training events, the North West Centre for Linguistics is establishing a Research Training Centre in language and linguistics. The Centre, which is funded for three years by the HEFCE Collaboration Programme in Modern Languages, will provide research training courses in a variety of topics in theoretical and applied linguistics and in research methodology. These courses will be at a variety of levels, thus meeting the needs of students who are moving from MA programmes into M.Phil and PhD programmes as well as students already embarked on their research programmes. There will be two events each year, a one-week event in spring and a two-week event in autumn. They will be held either at the University of Manchester or at the University of Salford, and will include both 5-day courses and half-day sessions on a variety of different topics. Courses will be available to students from throughout Britain (fees to be announced). A limited amount of student sponsorship will be available from the LAGB and BAAL. Details will be announced shortly. The first event will take place from 18 March to 22 March 2002, and will include the annual NWCL lecture with guest speaker Fritz Newmeyer (University of Washington). The training event will be followed by the annual Manchester PG conference.
