In the interest of transparency, I want to announce that Eric Herman and Michael Coxon and I have parted ways. Both have contributed much to the discussion here, but their strong focus on SLA, fascinating as it is, isn’t the best thing for the average teacher trying to work on their classroom teaching here. It takes away from our focus. I wish Eric and Mike all the best as they continue to pursue their work dedicated to helping children feel better about themselves when they learn a second language.
