Teaching Tasters

Babylonia would like to welcome you to our between-issue feature, Teaching Tasters -  Amuse-bouche didactiques - Praxis-Gluschterli - Unterrichtshäppchen – Spuntini didattici - Buccadinas didacticas. These practical teaching impulses will be released two to three times a year, to bridge the larger thematic issues published three times a year. Should you be interested in contributing, please submit a proposal to laura.buechel@phzh.ch and keep in mind that teaching tasters:

• must be either plurilingual in nature (the activities must lasso in on the plurilingualism of the classroom) or be translated into at least 2 languages for publication.
• must be useful for different instructional levels or ages, or a transfer is mentioned.
• are not theoretical and generally run 2-6 pages.
• include materials that teachers can use “as is” or with simple adaptations.
• are “timely” or “timeless”.

Please respect the following guidelines:

• Teaching Tasters should be no more than 2 pages (ca. 8,000 characters) of descriptive text;
• Teaching Tasters should be no longer than 4 pages of teacher-friendly, ready-to-use instructional materials for the classroom;
• Authors are responsible for acquiring copyright permissions for any graphics;
• More general author guidelines about formatting can be found here: https://babylonia.online/index.php/babylonia/about/submissions.
