Research

CLIC relies on the expertise of research postdoctoral fellows to carry out innovative research in second language acquisition, interactional competence, intercultural communication, language instruction methodologies, and language testing. To that effect, the CLIC research team organizes international symposia and conferences and it disseminates its research findings through publications in professional journals and world-recognized publishers.
