Babylonia: The Swiss Journal of Language Teaching and Learning

http://www.babylonia-ti.ch/

Publisher: Fondazione lingue e culture

Babylonia, the Swiss quarterly review of language teaching and learning
publishes articles by teachers of modern languages, teacher trainers and
researchers, always in the original language with a short summary in another
language.

The editorial board seeks to emphasize:

* That language is not only a means of communication but also as an
expression of cultural identity and an instrument for rapprochement and
understanding between diverse forms of thinking and living;
* The awareness of the possibilities of building bridges between theory and
practice in the mutual interest of teachers and researchers;
* The opportunity to establish contacts between the various languages and
types of school;
* Offering possibilities for an open and pragmatic approach to the teaching
and learning of languages, which better exploits the capacities of students,
makes better use of didactic tools and more tightly binds the learning of
first and second languages.

Each edition of Babylonia addresses a main theme, such as "Learning
vocabulary" or Language in the acquisition of a vocational qualification",
with informative articles on current developments in the field. In addition,
Babylonia contains didactic materials, descriptions of classroom experiences
and current news about developments in the language-teaching field.

Babylonia publishes contributions in their original language and seeks to
contribute to the building of bridges between theory and practice. A careful
and considerate use of the language and layout should enable the readership
to read the articles and didactic materials with pleasure and understanding.
