In Language Education" : 5 pages in length. John S.
Mayher's Uncommon Sense: Theoretical Practice In Language
Education dares to delve where few other educational
professionals have the courage. Indeed, the author presents an
interesting look at issues which others tend to view quite
differently; it is in the first few chapters that he lays the
groundwork for the connection between language and
education. Mayher is of the opinion that there is much for
instructors to learn with regard to this intrinsic relationship,
which is why he strives to pass along the lessons he, himself,
has learned after several decades as a language teacher. The
writer discusses how the author's efforts may be deviate from
the norm, but they have proven to have considerable merit of
their own. No additional sources used. Uncommon.wps
