Hello all, This is my first post though I have been an active reader and ponderer since 2004. This afternoon, I suddenly became excited about sharing what I...
Hey Mike, Thanks for sharing your class and blog. It was delightful to read, maybe because it reminds me of when I've taught a small group of students in an...
Mike, I welcome your blog because it marries two interests of mine - dogme and certain uses of the Internet. Good luck to you and your students. Dennis ...
Hi Julian, Possibly a naive comment, this, but your sentence: One breakthrough I had a long time ago was realizing that not every student had to experience...
Peter, An excellent line of thought and not in the least naive, I would say. My contribution. What are we considering, whether a lesson works for the techer or...
Hi Mike I enjoyed your blog too. I think it's a brilliant way to record the course as it emerges/develops. I love the way the words are linked to definitions -...

When I read the list these days, I like to mine the archives for postings that are relevant to the current thread(s). Searching under "lessons that work" I...
Rob, A stimulating post. I find the idea of a lesson working (or not) raises several fundamental pedagogical issues and therefore relevant to dogme. Behind...
Well Rob and Dennis it is nice to be quoted but even I blinked at that one - no doubt taken out of a rigorously academic context ;) I think the point is that a...

Andrew Wright just wrote on YL learners list an opnion that I thought the dogme list would appreciate: " Learning English should be a by-product of doing...
Nice quote, Dennis (and Andrew). I think we've often imagined it here as a by-product of talking about interesting things. A key issue is trust: as learning is...

Yes, but what's 'interesting' to one person / race / culture is not necessarily of interest to another. For example, I got my...
Jeff, I like your contrast between answering and pandering, and of course you are right about "interesting" being a highly subjective term. I particularly...
Hi Everyone, Nice to see that the list is still up and running. It seemed to quiet for a while. I think 'learning being a by-product' fits neatly with...
Hi Russ, and all I don't think CLiL is quite 'Learning as a by-product.' With CLiL there is definitely a learning aim, it's just not explicitly language...
Hello again, Adrian. I've been trying to remember, but cannot, who it was that said you can aid learning by focusing away from what you would like to be...
Lao Tzu said something pretty much along those lines in the Tao Te Ching: In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao,...
Hi all At the SIT vermont while studying for my Masters, we had to read a few books (some excerpts). One of them was Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi' Enjoyment and the...

Allyson, here's the mirror site for teaching-unplugged, compliments of Dennis: http://snipurl.com/s0ns Mihaela, what do you say to people who suggest that SIT...
Allyson, Maybe there's a link between "teaching unplugged" and "teaching undrugged"? Both of them might be a novelty for some teachers! Jeff ja03affa...

Hi Rob It may well be that the "scientific mind" values "soft and fuzzy books" less than those of the cognitivists. But then again, not everyone is a scientist...
