We base our research – such as it is so far – on an undergraduate course we run each Semester 2 (Feb-May) entitled <a href="http://hsrudyt.com">Copatuer-Medimted</a> Interculytral Communication (CMIC) in which Manchester undergraduates (on a programme in Language, Literacy and Communication, i.e. BA LLC) are paired up with one or more e-partmers overseas (i Uruguay, Germany, Slovenia, Bulgaria in recent years and before that south korea and Syria) to undertake a small-scale project involving them in online English-medium communications with each other. If you ever want to join in this course experience with your students, let us know
