A letter of Intent was signed on December 13 by representatives of Adam Mickiewicz University and the University of Bamberg. The document demonstrates the strengthening of existing cooperation between the AMU Institute of Applied Linguistics and Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik ( University of Bamberg) and delivers an opportunity for further talks on expanding it.
In this regard, we were visited by BaTEG program officials: Dr Johannes Weber (Project leader) and Ms Martina Zier (Project coordinator), who were met by Vice-Rector, Professor Rafal Witkowski. Cooperation on behalf of the Faculty of Modern Languages and Literatures is led by: the Department of English Language Teaching (Dr Jakub Przybył) Department of Culture and Media Didactics (Dr Marta Janachowska-Budych).
