But I do agree that there are bigger questions that we should think about when teaching. I like to make a distinction between a "language teacher / language trainer" and an "educator". Training people to use certain phrases and remember certain grammatical forms or vocabulary terms may be necessary in some cases. And I like to think of this as a kind of training. The bigger questions we're going to be talking about this semester, however, are aimed more at the question of what it means to "educate". I'm not sure I have a good answer for that, but I think it's useful to think about the question deeply. I'm looking forward to working with you this semester and learning about your unique experiences and perspectives on these issues.criticaljunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446524450676249455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662703402624711186.post-66925376440991449142012-03-15T23:29:27.600-07:002012-03-15T23:29:27.600-07:00Critical Pedagogies?
