Many of us
have experienced
the following:
-
Being clear about what second language goals we want to achieve at our school, but not being clear about how to achieve them.
-
Creating long to do lists with tasks that should improve our language curriculum, but not being sure where to start.
-
Feeling alone and isolated from others that are trying to answer the same questions as we are at our school.
