Though they say they love each other, it is not true because love it is not only the display of attraction, passion, and declaration of…

1. Introduction Conversations are often a part of my classroom teaching. I have used this to teach target language or to introduce functional language such as to interrupt, agree or disagree etc. This has always been something that is appreciated by my learners; however as a teacher this has never been done with conscious effort or to let students ‘express themselves’ per se or backed up by theoretical underpinning.

Again, we associate this with being rude, disrespectful, and discourteous…

I was told, “You can do and be anything that you set your mind to.” Up until about my sixth birthday, I thought this meant that I would have a chance to be everything that I wanted to be which was a cloth designing ballerina that was also a cosmetologist. My dreams have constricted down to a more practical focus. For my research, I went to my favorite salon, Bianucci’s Salon and Spa and talked to and observed my…
