Sabater, Silvia Rodríguez – Hispania, 2020
Recently, the Modern Language Association (MLA) has called for proposals on the "greening" of the Spanish curriculum for their 2020 convention.

Kim, Youjin; Jung, Yeonjoo; Tracy-Ventura, Nicole – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2017
Despite a strong pedagogical orientation, the majority of research examining the effectiveness of task-based language teaching (TBLT) and perceptions toward TBLT has been investigated in isolation rather than embedded in larger curricular contexts (McDonough, 2015]). The current study examines the process of developing a TBLT curriculum in South…

Watson, Etáin – Research-publishing.net, 2014
In this fast-changing information age, teachers and students can feast at a banquet of material on the Internet.

MacDonald, Gina; MacDonald, Andrew – 1991
A carefully-planned course in English as a Second Language (ESL) based on film can be a highly effective and enjoyable way to introduce students to both language and culture. The ready availability of videocassettes makes film a viable teaching tool. Film naturally combines a variety of language skills as students decode dialogue, read criticism,…
