Teach, Learn, Understand:    This describes process rather than outcome.

Cooperative learning is a natural and effective means of helping students
to communicate in a second language.

Planning:  mediate through being flexible and creative.

Focus on messages: "mediation", students have a rightful role.

Curriculum:  Interaction between students and content.

If extension is broad, culture is present and the more textuality is present.

Control language to control context

Try not to reduce; learning is not done as a quick process.
