  1. I find it beyond belief, since it is clear that language is the vehicle for bringing human beings together, for connecting their thoughts and emotions, that we would not use that vehicle in teaching it. Why not use the vehicle that brings humans together to teach the vehicle? For a hundred years, we have behaved as if the social connection piece is a side bar, so in the textbooks there was all this fake interaction between kids who didn’t even exist and lived in Paris and meant nothing to our students. Am I crazy to think that it is best to teach a language with real and authentic social connectedness between teacher and students as per my favorite researcher on this topic, Lev Vygotsky?

  2. I would like to add to this that when we go to the conflict, we have a better sense of what it is and how to address it. Going away from the conflict, letting it exist below the level of awareness, runs the risk of having it appear later in a stronger from.
