Since 2005 I've been working on a project called Didattizzazione completa di un film (in English How to convert a movie into a complete language course), based on an original method: movies are divided into short sections (5-10 min. each, one section per class) and each section is used for a different language exercise (speaking, writing, reading, listening, vocabulary or grammar). In this way, full-length movies (ca. 120 minutes) can be converted into 15/20 sections and provide materials for at least 20 hours of class. Original strategies have been studied, so that this method can be used with a wide range of movies and languages. Publications: M.

Universitat Illes-Balears
Miquel Pomar-Amer is now an Associate Lecturer at the Universitat of Illes-Balears, where he teaches English for specific purposes. His research explores a selection of novels and autobiographical works written by diasporic authors in two different contexts: Moroccan authors established in Catalonia and Pakistani-heritage authors in Britain. The selection of the texts has been based on chronological but also thematic criteria: they have all been published during the last decade (2004-2014) and the main plot is set in the household. This focus on the intimate space allows me to discuss religion, social class and gender at a micro-level but also to go beyond the private space and discuss how these aspects also interweave with widespread discourses at a broader national level. Identity is his main interest and he has approached it in a number of articles and book chapters.
