Hi Serafina,

I gave the most recent IALLT Webinar specifically on this topic and my recent dissertation also dealt with issues related to relevance. You can check the IALLT website for details about the webinar and I'd be happy to share my dissertation with you if you think that might be helpful as well. 

Best,
Paul

Dear All,

What is the rationale for the existence of language learning centers and labs in colleges and universities today? This is a question that seems to come up every 5 or 6 years at many institutions of higher learning. I have been asked by my university to put together a list of reasons why these facilites are still useful as well as the ways that they can be put to better use. I would appreciate your input concerning this topic.

Thank you so much for your help.
