Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE 2006), As a consequence of rapid change in higher education, universities are finding themselves increasingly engaged in competition for both students and staff.

However, as the implementation of multilingual programmes grows, so do the challenges universities face in offering such integrated education across the breadth of their educational provision. Hence universities will be looking for solid evidence of good practice elsewhere, especially grounded in research. Thi From EdNA Online on October 7, 2005 at 3:30 a.m..
