It's nice to take a break from activism and hear about language acquisition- that's what I fight for- the space to talk about learning. As someone pointed out, it is summer and it has been pretty quiet. (although many might be a little perturbed at so many new emails, but the delete button is pretty easy to push). and besides- the messages about Indian languages was very interesting, thanks.

Are we still being censored? Even if we are still being censored I still say this entire thread originated in trying to help a Frenchman learn English. Isn't that what we are all about? The topics sometimes get off topic but that it true whenever we try to communicate. There is nothing wrong with finding out the others point of view or even another's cultural heritage when trying to communicate. Below are the 16 EFF standards. I think we can all make a case that this was case study in using our EFF standards. Think of all the EFF standards that would apply to this entire thread: Communication Skills 1-Read With Understanding 2--Convey Ideas in Writing 3-Speak So Others Can Understand 4-Listen Actively 5-Observe Critically Decision-Making Skills 6-Solve Problems and Make Decisions 7-Plan 8-Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate Interpersonal Skills 9-Cooperate With Others 10-Guide Others 11-Advocate and Influence 12-Resolve Conflict and Negotiate Lifelong Learning Skills 13-Take Responsibility for Learning 14-Learn Through Research 15-Reflect and Evaluate 16-Use Information and Communications Technology Ken Taber kentaber@inetgenesis.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andres Muro" <AndresM@epcc.edu> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-esl@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 12:49 PM Subject: [NIFL-ESL:9131] Re: hello > I am confused.
