7 Ways to Find Inspiration
7 Ways to Find Inspiration September 22, 2011 by Rob Hubbard Guest post from my LearningAge co-director, Tess Robinson… Sparking Ideas Have the right attitude Open your mind to all kinds of weird and wonderful possibilities. Don’t discount anything at first. Creativity is impossible to achieve if you are not brave enough to look beyond your normal paradigms. Give yourself time Don’t expect creative thoughts to jump into your head in the first five minutes. It may be hours, days or even weeks before you have that Eureka moment. Some people thrive on pressure and that added time constraint can produce wonderful, creative solutions but, if that’s not you, don’t worry. Be random Introduce chance elements. The classic method, of course, is by the roll of a dice. This can help to introduce new thoughts and ideas to a creative process. They may seem wild and wacky at first but, once refined; solutions may appear that you wouldn’t otherwise have thought of. ...

Learning and Communicative Strategies
The ELT Times Learning and Communicative Strategies Posted: 12 Sep 2011 11:07 PM PDT Learning and communicative strategies Introduction Communicative strategies are systematic techniques employed by a speaker to express his meaning when faced with some difficulty and the difficulty here refers to the speaker’s inadequate command of the language used in the interaction (Faerch & Kasper, 1983:16). On the other hand, the term learning strategies has been defined as “the higher-order skills which control and regulate the more task-specific or more practical skills” (Nisbet & Shucksmith,1986:26). Based on the previously mentioned definitions, it could be said that learning and communicative strategies refer to language learning behaviors that contribute directly or indirectly to learning.
