Description

NALDIC’s 17th Conference, with the theme, ‘Integrated Language, Integrated Curriculum’, held at Reading University, was another runaway success, as the following set of papers, including transcripts and write-ups of the various sessions held on the day attests. Nothing comes close to the actual experience of being there, of course, but I hope this edition of NQ will give you a flavour of the breadth and depth of the day’s events and encourage you to book early for next year’s 18th Annual Conference, when NALDIC will officially come of age! (Whether we are given the keys to the door remains another matter…)
