very much enjoyed Mr. Hudson's paper on why education needs linguistics and
vice versa, and I couldn't agree more. We badly need such a reform here in
America as well, and many of our teacher education programs are making some
first steps in that direction. For instance, my university will be offering a
course this Fall entitled Linguistics for Educators that is mandatory for all
language arts education majors. I will be teaching in this class, using
materials and approaches synthesized from a wide range of linguistic
frameworks. I recently presented a paper at a linguistics conference offering a
new schema for L1 language arts teachers (which naturally extends to L2 settings)
that incorporates linguistics into the content area methodologies associated
with grammar, literature, and composition instruction. Anyone interested in the
abstract, notes, or PP is welcome to e-mail me. </span></font></p>

wonderful to see others working in the same area, attempting to apply
linguistic resources in the classroom for the public at large. Please keep up
the work! Also, please continue to post such work in a forum such as this so
that we can all share our work. </span></font></p>
