ESRC award to establish a Digital Repository of Instruments for Research in Language Learning
Posted on 3 January 2011
Emma Marsden has been awarded £236,000 from the ESRC to establish a digital repository of instruments used to collect data for research into second language learning and teaching (IRIS). The two year project is in collaboration with Professor Alison Mackey (Co-I, Georgetown University, U.S.), Julie Allinson (Digital Library, University of York), and a wide international network of researchers, journal editors and professional associations. This searchable and sustainable resource will facilitate collaboration and replication, and enhance the scrutiny of research instruments, amongst many other benefits.
