In this episode I’m beginning my series on exploring Common Ground: Second Language Acquisition Theory Goes to the Classroom by Florencia Henshaw and Maris Hawkins. 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 Florencia Henshaw and Maris Hawkins.
- 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), Florencia Henshaw (@Prof_F_Henshaw) and Maris Hawkins (@Marishawkins).
