About the WELL Project

The prinicipal aim of the WELL Project (Web Enhanced Language Learning) was to promote wider awareness and more effective use of the World Wide Web for Modern Languages teaching across Higher Education (HE) in the United Kingdom (UK).

It aimed to provide a starting point for academics who wished to discover what the Web and associated new technologies could offer, and also to act as a forum for the exchange of good practice amongst more advanced practitioners.

The WELL Project was supported by the UK-based FDTL - the HEFCE Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning - and was awarded continuation funding to continue to promote its objectives until August 2001. It has been involved in a wide range of dissemination activities, including:

  • an extensive programme of more than 40 workshops at different UK HE institutions,
  • participation in several national and international conferences,
  • support to Case Studies of Web-supported language learning and teaching,
  • pointers to selected Web-based resources for language learning and teaching,
  • on-line conferences on WELL-related topics (WELL Discussion List),
  • paper-based and electronic publications.
