<font size=3>Richard et al.: "...we need to work together with
people from [all sorts of other] disci[plines." Yes indeed,
though it strikes me that, given the turns the discussion is now taking,
educational linguistics begins to overlap with the fields of language for
specific purposes and rhetoric and professional communication (insofar as
it deals with academic language). <br><br>

Which brings us back to Francis Hult's point that we need to draw on
<br>
ideas from all sorts of other disciplines. I would go further and <br>
suggest that we need to work together with people from those <br>
disciplines.<br><br>
