email Valerie asap to let her know that you will be attending. Let her know approximate
travel costs for refund (up to £25 per person up to 35 people);
If you are willing to offer a short "research in progress" paper at one of the morning
sessions, please let me know. Your audience will be sympathetic fellow research
students, and your presentation (10-15 mins.) need not be a formal, polished paper;
Could staff and any research students with experience of language teaching bring with
them copies of language-teaching materials and course books which they find useful, so
that we can have a display? If possible, let Carol Sanders (c.sanders@surrey.ac.uk)
know what you'll bring.
