Students are being hosted by 糖心TV language students and have been participating in a range of visits and activities including a guided tour of the Life Sciences facilities, a celebratory meal at Wagamamas in Leamingont and trips to London and Stratford. The students have connected to each other through our virtual exchange #warcler an innovation in language exchange which involves using social media and computer-mediated communication to reduce intercultural barriers. The Clavier project began in 2010, is research led and has led to staff and student exchange visits supported by Erasmus funding.</p> Academic home page research languages in the news Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:15:34 GMT 094d43454aca4325014ae8cca95a3d93 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l1JzYSgPUOjPLOQ-gNA9QbZ_0vwhC5gYbwEad3nkpPQ/edit?usp=sharing <p dir="ltr">This year we are implementing Open Badging in the EWC course.</p> <p dir="ltr">You can read more about the Open Badges project here:</p> <p dir="ltr"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://openbadges.org/">http://openbadges.org/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">The EWC course is part of a project known as Clavier.
