Dr Antoinette Camilleri Grima, a senior lecturer in Applied Linguistics and Maltese Language Teaching at the University of Malta, has recently met with me while attending a Reading Conference in Scotland. She had attended a lecture on Storyline at the conference ‘A New Vision for Primary Education in Malta’ held in her university in the early nineties. Now she is closely involved with the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) based in Graz, Austria. “The aim of this centre has been to offer – generally through international workshops and seminars – a platform and a meeting place for officials responsible for language policy, specialists in didactics, teacher trainers, textbook authors and other multipliers in the area of modern languages. Antoinette would now like to see Storyline applied to the teaching of intercultural awareness through their programmes.
