| Well, you know is "our" class, but "my" apple, lol. |
Well, of course, I don't have a proper answer. You are here because you are here. Is that good enough?
What I can tell you for sure is why I have decided to create this space...
This space is for all of us to THRIVE
to SHARE
to ENJOY
to THINK TOGETHER
to, al teast, TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL ESSENCE OF TEACHING
to use ENGLISH as our NATIVE TONGUE...
I'll write some thoughts about our sessions together, you do what you feel you have to do, comment, create new posts (have them sent to me and I'll make them public). This is for you to feel free, learn and teach...
Today's session has been pretty useful, at least from my point of view. Using Spanish every now and them won't "kill our English", although we'd better keep up English as our "communicative tool". The students are incredibly receptive and open to some of the ideas which fly over our classroom. I love that feeling of freedon, we are CREATING something new, and it seems so EFFORTLESS. Nice!!!!!
And so, we were left with the thought of TRYING TO SEE CLEARLY WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND MIND (COGNITIVE PROCESS). I really am puzzled about this since I was a young College student and to this day I am still fascinated about the magical connection that seems to exist between mind and speech.
Dunno, my pals, do you have anything to add just now???????
