Another journal

Posted on 19, December 2011 by Gary Motteram | Leave a comment

As they say, you wait at the bus stop for 20 minutes and then three buses come at once. Same apperas to be the case with journals. Not that this one is new, but it is new to me.

This is a peer reviewed plurilingual journal of Language and Literature Teaching Methods from the Faculty of Education of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). Good to see articles on language teaching published in languages other than English.
