Language Learning Ideologies
Emma Trentman shares some Ideologies regarding language learning on episode 362 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
When you take language out of its social context and it is decontextualized, then you lose sight of how that language is connected to its social context.
-Emma Trentman
Rather than focusing on what language we are using, try focusing on how we are using language in particular social contexts.
-Emma Trentman
