Synopsis

In several decades as a language educator, Mayher has been attempting to help teachers and curriculum directors conceptualize and implement progressive approaches to language education-the ideas and practices he characterizes in this book as uncommon sense. He traces his own evolution as a teacher/learner by recapturing the processes of reflection and inquiry he went through when confronted by contradictions between the way commonsense teaching and learning were supposed to work and the actual experiences of students in his classrooms.
