RE: [xmca] Help with doctoral studies

Thanks a lot for the information.
I have already e-mailed professor Lantolf, I hope he can make the time to answer as I guess he must be very busy.
Unfortunaltely I am not attending the conference as I did not know about ISCAR, or its conference. I will surely find out more about this society soon, as I will probably be interested in becoming a member.
 
Thanks again
