摘要:This article, like the preconference workshop that we shall be facilitating together at JALT2001 in Kokura, Kitakyushu, is not about particular methods of teaching. It is about a particular way of being a teacher, and of being a colleague among teachers. We believe that by taking the time, and making the effort, to begin with ourselves, we can bring about changes that will enable us to develop into the best teacher that each one of us can become, for our own students, each in our own way.
