Summary of conversation on Twitter among #ELTchat participants on the topic of mentoring.
Shona Whyte's insight:
Much of the discussion would be relevant to non-language teaching contexts. Interesting for my work with pre-service EFL teachers at a French university. #eltchat is probably a good place for them to begin developing a PLN. Delete the scoop?

Steve Kirk argues that in language for academic purposes classes, fluency activities where learners "just speak" are insufficient: learners also need to learn to develop "contentful" contributions.
I think a) this is also true of other second/foreign language teaching contexts and b) a strong version of task-based teaching can help address this concern.
