Jean, you mention that when administrators have bad learning experiences 
with languages, they lose respect for the language teachers they supervise. 
Jackie, you mentioned using theater work to inform PD practice. I'd like to 
read more about how the physical and emotional experiences of conventional 
learning and learning "outside the box" inform adult ed and PD. What helps 
us get beyond the limitations of current models and definitions to think and 
act more creatively?

It definitely needs to be renewed and there needs to be some careful
consideration of the language learning experience.  Some of my colleagues
have learned other languages, but their experiences were long ago and
horrible!  Administrators who are subjected to unhappy experiences will lose
respect for the language teachers they supervise.  Let's make sure they get
a wonderful learning experience so they will be enthused about the classes
and teachers they have.
