Center for Applied Linguistics

The research group Centre for Applied Linguistics (CTL) carries out pluridisciplinary research. Important research domains of CTL are:
-          cross-cultural research (mainly verbal and non verbal communication)
-          communication needs and problems of specific populations (mainly business-oriented, possibly targeting a specific sector and/or job category)
-          semi-autonomous blended learning (effectiveness and efficiency of language education and didactic methods, in particular those including the use of ICT in support of semi-autonomous learning)
