Abstract	The aim of this paper is to describe certain characteristic aspects of the work of C.R.A.P.E.L. (Centre de Recherches et d'Applications Pedagogiques en Langues), and, in doing so, to outline the overall approach and the conceptual framework on which that work is based. The description of the nature and organization of C.R.A.P.E.L. is followed by a discussion of its contributions in the area of English instruction to adult, non-specialist learners. The center was founded in 1962, and is one of a group of four loosely related linguistics research centers within the University of Nancy, in France. The range of interests and activities include educational technology, micro-teaching, teaching by radio and television, French for immigrants, the description of oral language, materials production and evaluation, language-teaching methods and strategies, and teacher training. The approach used in the teaching of English to adults is designed to meet the immediate and specific needs of these learners. The emphasis is on the development of autonomy, both linguistic and pedagogic, and on the provision of self-access materials. In this regard, the activities of a group of applied linguists (the Commission de Langue Orale) in the preparation of instructional materials are described. (CLK)
