We are delighted to announce the details for the next event in the English Profile Network Seminar Series.  On October 22-23, 2010, delegates will meet in Madrid at the Colegio Oficial de Doctores y Licenciados en Filosofia y Letras y en Ciencas.  The event is being hosted by JoAnne Neff and her team from Madrid's University of Complutense. This event will differ from previous seminars in that the talks will have a more pedagogic bias, rather than being mainly an opportunity for English Profile researchers to present and discuss their latest findings.  This event will be aimed at informing the teaching community, and will place greater emphasis on the practical applications of English Profile findings.

We are pleased to announce that Eleonora Nistor of Banat university, Romania, is the first lucky winner in our prize draw for students who have completed data collection for our corpus. Every student who participates in English Profile data collection and fully completes the process (by filling in our questionnaire and completing some short English tasks) has their name entered in our prize draw every month for the next 6 months.  Eleonora has won 50 Euros - congratulations Eleonora!
