What is materials curation and why do you need it?
Different learning theories talk about how exposure to the language (input) is connected to learning. It can work as a model for your production, as a way to activate the language mechanisms, as a way to process the language, it can help you construct (new) language. It is also a way to learn the language in an informal way. By accessing these materials, you enhance your learning process. @teacher.casals

Materials curation is a way to help you find interesting “real” material (not adapted to a classroom setting) directed at your profile: adult, business, creative areas, children, cooking, etc.
