ACCESS Projects
In 2004 we received generous funding from Alberta learning under the ACCESS grant to undertake research into language learning and teaching. After a highly competitive process, a select group of projects were approved for funding. These projects include research and development of learning and teaching objects, technology projects and cultural investigations related to languages. It is our intention that Alberta teachers and students will benefit from these projects in the future.
