Sendai JALT:

Language - What Is It That We Are Teaching?

Date: Sunday, March 30th, 2003 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: roundtable discussion

Description:
The March meeting will be a discussion the nature of language. Our individual models of language determine how and what we teach. Thus, it is very important that we, as teachers, have a clear and usable understanding of the nature of language, so that our teaching will be consistent and effective.
A pre-reading handout is available for participants to read before attending. To recieve this handout, contact John Wiltshier [johnw@sda.att.ne.jp]. We will begin the discussion with the points mentioned in the pre-reading: relative clauses, universal grammar (UG), learnability, the critical period hypothesis, access to UG, markedness, and cognitive versus linguistic explanations. Where the discussion goes from there will depend on the participants.
