Congratulations to Bettina Hermoso-Gómez (Lecturer in Spanish in the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies), Sofia Martinho (Associate Professor in Portuguese) and Chiara La Sala (Associate Professor of Italian), whose new edited volume New Trends in the Learning and Teaching of Second Language Speaking Skills in Higher Education has just been published with Cambridge Scholars Publishing!

"This book brings together perspectives from researchers and language teachers working in higher education, both in the UK and internationally, on the nature and challenges currently faced in the field of speaking skills pedagogy in second language learning and teaching. The book offers support to the teaching community in the important task of developing speaking skills in our globalised world, by advocating for a closer integration of language learning theory and pedagogical practice.

This thought-provoking work explores a wide range of topics, from task-authenticity in the classroom to fluency development, and others such as social media, prosody and transferable skills. The book will help educational practitioners to improve their own teaching strategies in the classroom." (Publisher's description)

This innovative new volume also contains a chapter by Isabel Molina-Vidal, Lecturer in Spanish in LCS. ¡Felicidades!
