I am attempting to conduct a survey on foreign language teaching at
universities - structure of degrees, proportion of face-to-face
teaching to independent and flexible mode learning, proportion of
theory vs practicals, progress of absolute beginners vs students with
previous knowledge, etc.

The questionnaire involves 9 questions which require very short
answers.

 Please e-mail me on: icasule at ocs1.ocs.mq.edu.au    if you would like
to help me. I will then send you the survey.

I'd appreciate your cooperation, as many language departments in
the world are in jeopardy because of the erosion of funding and
teaching standards.

If I receive enough relevant replies, I will post a summary.

Thanks.

Dear all,

I am in the process of gathering data on French liaison. I am looking
for references or lists of examples of entire utterances or long
phrases illustrating liaison. As the emphasis is on prosody and
liaison, I am less interested in the standard examples of
suppletion/h-aspire words. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I
will make a summary available to the asking if I get a significant
number of responses.  Thanks in advance.
