language teaching and learning: changing concepts
DESCRIPTION
Language teaching and learning is changing. From classes focussed on grammar and vocabulary, to classes where participation and community building is the goal, teaching methodology has evolved from code targetting to student approach, and to community building. Now, networking creates a space for participation in each language: the concept of language is also changing, as a result of this.TRANSCRIPT
