Film Series: German Filmmakers in Hollywood

The influence of German filmmakers in Hollywood has been substantial. Genres such as the 1940s film noir or the 1950s melodrama owe a great deal to directors such as Fritz Lang, Douglas Sirk, and Billy Wilder, all of whom made their mark on Hollywood and film history.

Overcoming the myth of the native speaker

Overcoming the myth of the native speaker. Challenges and successes.

The monolingual disposition (Gogolin, 1994) of our societies and school systems is a big obstacle to innovation in language education. In particular, it constitutes a filter that prevents appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity and fails to acknowledge learners’ resources and funds of knowledge. However, a movement away from a linear vision of language education into a more dynamic and flexible one capable of dealing with multilingual classes and plurilingual individuals is in place.
