Postdoctoral Fellow Kate Riestenberg Wins Best Article Award from International Association for Task-Based Language Teaching
Postdoctoral Fellow Kate Riestenberg and co-author Ari Sherris of Texas A&M University have received the Best Article Award 2019 from the International Association for Task-Based Language Teaching (IATBLT) for thier article , published in the Canadian Modern Language Review in August 2018.
In announcing the award, the IATBLT Executive Board wrote:
"Riestenberg and Sherris reflect on the enabling conditions that allowed them to put TBLT to the service of language revitalization in two very different contexts. The study is original and contributes to an area of TBLT that is new but also very timely, taking TBLT way beyond the typical contexts we have seen in the last three decades. The comparative nature of the two settings makes it interesting and also useful for practitioners who are thinking about implementing TBLT, particularly in less common contexts."
