Lifelong learning

On Wednesday, May 4, we will be discussing Lifelong Learning. In preparation for that event, I would like each of you to begin to think about ways to continue learning about current methods in TESOL even after you have left a structured TESOL program. To do that, search out one or two journals that publish articles on TESOL and language learning (you could do this online, through Googlescholar, through the library databases, or in the print journals in the library). Browse through the table of contents for several issues and find one article that interests you. Print out or photocopy that article and bring it to class with you. Before class on May 4, post the bibliographic citation to that article in the comments of this post.
