The site, at http://www.cyberstep.org/TESOL links principles of language/literacy learning to specific websites through which these principles are demonstrated/can be enacted. I can't do the site proper justice, I'm afraid, and don't want to create a long long post when you should all just be going to the site right now. Look, for example, at principle 12, about affect and learning, and then link to the virtual tour of the women's shelter from Victims Services in NY. Take the quiz about domestic violence, take the virtual tour and see how you might consider taking up the topic of violence generally with colleagues, with learners. This site makes very clear ways in which authentic learning really can be just that -- by using 'real' websites that 'real' people use in the real world for information, entertainment, and learning in very authentic ways. I can't say enough about it - please go have a look. (and, if you're interested in pursuing violence and learning, please have a look at http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Swearer_Center/Literacy_Resources/screen.html - which has been revised since last I posted it) thanks Janet Isserlis Literacy Resources/RI
