FOLLOWING the highly successful conferences in Lancaster (1994 and 1996),
Oxford (1998) and Graz (2000), the fifth international TALC conference will
bring together practitioners and theorists with a common interest in the
use of corpus tools for such purposes as: 
- first and second language teaching and learning 
- language awareness raising 
- teaching languages for specific purposes 
- student-centered linguistic investigation 
- interpreting and translation studies 
- cultural and historical studies 
- teaching literature 

THE CONFERENCE will be held in the mediaeval hill-top village of Bertinoro
(roughly half way between Bologna and Rimini), beginning at 7 p.m. on July
27 and ending at 9 a.m on July 31. Pre-conference tutorials and workshops
by Sean Wallis, Lou Burnard, and Michael Barlow will be held on July 27.
