Academic Feedback on My Work
Posted by asecoli on May 10, 2008
A Spanish journal wants to translate (or an adapted Spanish version) of my article on Wikipedia.
Jean-Pol Martin and I have been asked to write an article on LdL for a French journal.

A1 polyglot
Posted by asecoli on May 9, 2008
I’m also thinking abouts way to apply some of the fundamental aspects of BGE to other European languages. The concept that I have in mind is to allow people to acquire basic competences in several European languages in the shortest time possible (project “A1 polyglot”, or, “A1 euro-polyglot”, with A1 referring to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

BGE centerstage
Posted by asecoli on May 9, 2008
Just 2 hours ago, I finished a lecture with discussion on BGE at a student club. The overall title of my presentation was “On the European Year of Intercultural Dialog”. Very interesting discussion.
In a few hours I will lead a BGE lesson with my kids at elementary school again. Another reporter from the Bayerischer Rundfunk will visit us.
People’s interest in, and our work on, materials for self-educated BGE also continues. The material shall consist of
1. an English book as the necessary and sufficient basis
2. a book with the metalinguistic explanations of the basic book in various the learner’s language, an audio CD and an exercise CD-Rom as “luxury equipments”.
