The Musicuentos Black Box is a collection of video podcasts and other media resources designed to address the great disconnect in world language teaching: the lack of effective communication between researchers investigating how people learn language and the teachers working to help those people develop communicative language skills.

The resources will be developed by a team of five world language teachers, including Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell, a past InterCom contributor. Ms. Cottrell is the author of the first podcast of the series, a video that discusses the work of applied linguist Michael Long and his distinction between methods and methodologies, which is available here: http://musicuentos.com/2015/06/blackboxv1/

As you prepare for a new round of department-wide discussions with your colleagues, this video will be an excellent foundation to bridge perceived differences between how you all teach.
