Your submission at Articles for creation: Teaching Spanish as a second or foreign language (November 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Bonadea were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft is written from a US centric point of view, but Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia. If the scope of the article is teaching Spanish in the US, that should be reflected in the title – and even then, phrases like "traveling abroad" or "Spanish-speaking cultures within and outside of the U.S." should be avoided, because that is exclusionary towards readers who aren't American.

The scope of the article is generally a bit unclear. The section about the ACTFL isn't about teaching Spanish at all – and there is no information there that can't be found in the article ACTFL. The preceding section, on teaching methodologies, isn't about teaching Spanish, either, but about teaching an L2 in general.

Several of the sources are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Please focus on finding high-quality scholarly sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Teaching Spanish as a second or foreign language and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
