Synaesthesia!!!

I have just recently discover this disease. A neurological condition which means that stimulation or one sensorial pathway  leads to  automatic in involuntary experiences in second sensorial pathway.  This people experience the world in different ways and for them it is hard to explain their feelings to their peers;  Colors coming from sounds, seeing taste…

In this video you will find more information about this neurological trick of senses.

New book!!!

Jasone Cenoz has published a new book,  Toward Multilingual Education  

This volume focuses on issues such as the learning, use and assessment of languages in educational contexts in which several languages are taught either as subjects or languages of instruction. Jasone Cenoz  focuses on Basque educational research to discuss issues that are relevant for other contexts. “Towards Multilingual Education: Basque Educational Research in International Perspective” is an up to date and comprehensive review of research involving Basque, Spanish and English in Basque schools.
