Questions for discussion, action, and research
1) Discuss definitions of language, learning, and teaching and 2) write your own-twenty-five word or less definitions of language, learning and teaching.

2) Vocabulary and related concepts. Think about the categories we referred in the session notes and the objectives presented in the syllabus .. See how many of these you understand and can give an example, place it under a category, and relate to an objective. Choose 5 of them (hopefully each of you will choose different ones) and post them in the WebBoard. |
