...to listen to and understand vocabulary and sentences in a second language. In lectures, discussions, and assignments, I show that learning a second language responds to various modes of inquiry: analytic, hermeneutic, cultural, and historical; thus, students are led to explore the possibilities of each perspective, and to push beyond their own experience to expand their communication skills. In the end, I have enriched a students ability to listen to, think about, discuss, and communicate...
