"When dealing with academic texts, you must be very adept at reading. Soon returning to my MA studies, I can honestly say I’m not looking forward to jumping deeply into the majority of academic texts I face reading, with their overly complicated language and references to researchers I barely know of (if at all) and theories I know but not by name.

We have already provided a detailed guide on GBL and in this posts we are adding some extra video tutorials to shed more light on this new trend."
