"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.
