This workshop will build on a workshop that Miriam Burt and I developed some years ago for Spring Institute. I am putting this out with the hope that many of you have some nifty ideas for encouraging learners to be mindful about learning when they are not in their ESL class. Recommendations for activities, resources and strategies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
