| Sumari: | This partnership between two leading language studies universities addresses the lack of access to languages at tertiary level. Universities are cutting out language teaching because it is costly. Consequently many language programs are too small to offer a range of advanced courses. While language units are being put online, potential students have no easy way to find out which languages are taught where, and even if they can locate a suitable online unit, cross-institutional enrolment is often cumbersome and expensive. They proposed to improve access to information for students, create greater co-operation across universities, and use web technology to increase online delivery through (a) developing a national languages portal with basic information: where specific languages are taught, whether they are taught online, how to enrol cross-institutionally (b) establishing a trial consortium to negotiate cross institutional enrolment and share advanced language studies courses and courses in lesser-taught languages through joint on-campus and on-line teaching. |
