Dear friends, dear colleagues,

Please take note of the upcoming LLHE webinar, information about accessing LLHE articles via the CercleS website (we know some members have had problems with this), and details about conferences, calls for papers, job vacancies, and the results of the CercleS COVID-19 survey.

Call for Papers – LLHE (conference papers)

We would like to remind you of the deadline this Sunday for submissions for the call for papers for the CercleS journal, Language Learning in Higher Education, Volumes 13.1 (2023) and 13.2 (2023): Call for contributions arising from the XVII CercleS International Conference held in Porto, Portugal, on 15-17 September 2022.

Access to LLHE articles via CercleS website

Some CercleS members are having trouble accessing LLHE articles via our site. We have communicated about this extensively with De Gruyter over the last year. If you see a note that your institution does not have a subscription, you can access the articles by using a special code for CercleS members. Please see this post for a step-by-step description for accessing the articles via our site.
