Common Ground. Why this book? Why Now?
Episode notes
#57
In this episode I’m beginning my series on exploring Common Ground: Second Language Acquisition Theory Goes to the Classroom by Maris Hawkins and Florencia Henshaw. There will be 5 episodes total between now and the end of October. Today we take a general look at why this book, why now, why I am such a fan.
Topics in the episode:
- Why this book? Why now?
- Why I’m a fan of the Hawkins and Henshaw.
- How the book is set up.
- What to look for in the upcoming episodes devoted to Common Ground.
- Making the discussion interactive on Twitter with Joshua (@wlcalssoom), Maris Hawkins (@Marishawkins) and Florencia Henshaw (@Prof_F_Henshaw).
