Postgraduate and INSET Courses in CALL & TELL

As part of the action plan initiated at the EUROCALL Seminar on Research in CALL at the University of Essen, 30 April to 1 May 1999, I compiled this list of postgraduate courses at universities around the world that offer training in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and TELL (Technology Enhanced Language Learning). All the courses in this list are either devoted to training in CALL/TELL or include a major CALL/TELL training element. I have started to add a few examples of INSET courses in the UK section as there appears to be an increasing demand for such courses.

I shall continue to update this page for some time so please come back often and let me know if I have missed any important references or if you find broken links. I have had to remove a number of broken links, which are due to universities reorganising their websites without leaving traces of the old pages - not a good idea!
