"I strongly believe we need to be (re)creating a climate of knowledge building in the EAP classroom." Steve Kirk

Shona Whyte's insight:

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.
