Supporting teaching and learning in Northern Ireland
Aims of the LLAS Northern Ireland partnership
The aims of the partnership are to:
- Enable the Subject Centre to enhance its provision for staff teaching in Higher Education Institutions in Northern Ireland, by having activity and resources which focus specifically on their needs and creating opportunities for exchange between individuals.
- Enhance communications between the Subject Centre, Higher Education institutions and other bodies in Northern Ireland concerned with Learning and Teaching in Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies.
- Develop access to funding and initiatives which can be of benefit to the Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies community in Northern Ireland.
The partnership is currently chaired by Professor John Gillespie at the University of Ulster. For further information about the Northern Ireland partnership please contact John Canning llas@soton.ac.uk.
