After months of research and countless late nights, I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my first article in The Modern Language Journal! In this piece, I explored EFL learners' beliefs about L2 speaking fluency through the lens of metaphor. I'd love for you to read it and share your thoughts! #Metaphor #LanguageEducation #AppliedLinguistics #SLA #ELT
This is well worth downloading for a quick and clear explanation of concept-based inquiry. Includes great practical planning examples. Section on translanguaging mirrors my experience of how this style of teaching values the authentic voices and multiple languages of children in an International School classroom.
I am pleased to share that I authored a paper for Oxford University Press on Concept-Based Inquiry in Language Learning. Rachel French also contributed as a reviewer for the paper. Please learn more here and download for free! Link in the comments!

Dylan Gates Here is my metaphor: Learning a language is like building a house. A1: The foundation. A2: The walls of the basement. B1: The walls of the first floor B2: The roof C1: The windows and interior C2 (optional): Finishing the outside walls (e.g. painting) and landscaping the garden That is the theory. But some learners at C1 have gaps at A2 or B1. That is why we need to take into account that language learning can proceed by irregular steps. Some learners are in a hurry. Then I have to explain that only once we have laid the foundations does it make sense to build the walls.
What is your preferred metaphor for language learning? I came across this passage in the article "Thinking things over: axioms and principles for language teaching" by Alan Maley and Rod Bolitho (only available to Modern English Teacher subscribers) and agree that the most common metaphor (ascending steps) doesn't reflect the reality of language learning. "The prevailing metaphor for language teaching/learning is of a mountain with steps cut in the side. Learners climb towards the summit, one step at a time. But language learning is not linear: it is recursive, partial and proceeds by irregular fits and starts. An alternative, ecological metaphor would see language as a forest, constantly growing and changing shape, which can be endlessly explored by many pathways. What metaphors or analogies do you think best represent the language learner's journey? #elt #teachingenglish #languagelearning
