GEELLE — Study Group on Linguistic Education in Foreign Languages — aims to deepen the discussion about Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy and the new literacy studies (critical literacy, multiliteracies). This website was created to disseminate the research and publications conducted by the group, so as to contribute to the initial and continuing education of foreign language teachers.
