14 November 2005, CILT, London

When examined from the point of view of the student, it is apparent that area studies courses offer many opportunities and challenges for both students and their teachers. In this workshop, five teachers of area studies explore ways in which they have developed courses and pedagogies that enhance the experiences of their students in acquiring knowledge and developing appropriate skills in their chosen area study.
