In its best sense it helps to "meet students where they are" and find the words to reach/teach them, using our own vulnerabilities to reflect theirs.

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?

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.
