Reading: “CLAC at a SLAC: A Distinctive Model for Teaching Languages Across the Curriculum in the Context of a Small Liberal Arts College” by Oscar A. Pérez and Viviana Rangil.

Their approach seeks a redefinition of the pedagogical approach that challenges existing paradigms of the hierarchical ownership of knowledge.
