The learners’ own language has been called the greatest asset that they bring to learning a new language. They use it in class, most teachers use it in class, and yet hardly anyone talked about it, until very recently. Share your own experiences and attitudes, compare them with others in the group, discover what research has to tell us and what practical ideas are available, and discover how you can make more principled uses of the other language(s) as a tool for learning English in your own teaching context.<\/p>\n
In this course, you will read articles recommended by the instructor, watch four recorded sessions, and answer four discussion questions. (This is not a live course.) If you would like to receive a Certificate of Completion verifying 20 hours of professional development credit, email your answers to these questions in a separate word document to su*****<\/span>@**<\/span>Di.pro<\/span> for evaluation. In the body of your document, please include your name as you wish it to appear on your certificate, your email address, and the name of course you have completed.<\/p>\n
