Sabrina Link – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2025
German university degrees, at least in some countries, offer students only German literature courses in addition to language courses.

García, Ofelia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2019
In this article I reflect on Turnbull's reframing of foreign language education through a bilingual framework.

That is, foreign…

Galina, Benjamin J. – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2017
Language departments have long confronted a disciplinary divide between the study of literature and language. This divide in tenure lines and course content has engendered a similarly deep-seated divide in pedagogical practices. In world language departments, critique often seems confined, for reasons both epistemological and historic, to…

To do this I will examine two English…
