    Following the highly successful conferences in Lancaster (1994 and 1996),
    Oxford (1998) and Graz (2000), the fifth international TALC conference will
    bring together practitioners and theorists with a common interest in the
    use of corpus tools for such purposes as:
    - first and second language teaching and learning
    - language awareness raising
    - teaching languages for specific purposes
    - student-centered linguistic investigation
    - interpreting and translation studies
    - cultural and historical studies
    - teaching literature

    The conference will be held in the mediaeval hill-top village of Bertinoro
    (roughly half way between Bologna and Rimini), beginning at 7 p.m. on July
    27 and ending at 9 a.m on July 31. Pre-conference tutorials and workshops
    will be held on July 27.

    Invited speakers (confirmed): Bernhard Kettemann, John Sinclair, Henry
    Widdowson.
