> I would like to answer Jeff Finlay 1 October about his subject: Flexible
> Learning as a concept in organizational change. Firstly, I don4t think the
> "knowledge" is "acquired" in education,rather that a fact is understood, a
> problem situation is developed or/and behaviour and/or outlook are changed
> in the student. If we take language learning, for example, I particularly
> train my students to understand, reflect upon and choose conventionally
> created names and explanations for syntactic and morphological analysis of
> sentences. I also train them to express, in the most usual, acceptable and
> comprehensible way what they think and feel by choosing among the diversity
> of linguistic resources. Little by little, with my teaching and their
> willingness to learn, they become richer in their discourse, more correct
> and eventually more fluent. They also grow in comprehension of what other
> people say or write and in the ability to defend their own viewpoints. I do
> this by means of such old teaching techniques as memorizaton and such new
> ones as internet sites. I have never discarded a technique or a strategy
> for reasons of age or any other. Quite the opposite, I will have students
> translate, paraphrase, memorize, exemplify, etc,etc, etc or whatever as
> long as it will make them understand what language is all about and enable
> them to use it as a versatile tool to communicate. That I think is what we
> call Flexible Learning.
