Next, Sebastian Amado explains in The Principle of Co-operation how we can transmit to our students that there seems to be a way of speaking which we all accept as standard behavior by showing that speakers, guided by specific maxims, are usually assumed to be telling the truth, supplying the right amount of information, trying not to digress, and be clear. Then we comment on our 19th. Argentina TESOL Convention, with Robert Frost’s line And Miles to go before I sleep as its motto, held at the Escuela Superior de Lenguas Extranjeras, Universidad del Aconcagua, Mendoza, last July 1-2. Jodi Crandall, Professor of Education, CoDirector of the MA Program in ESOL/Bilingual Education, and Director of the interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was the guest speaker. Finally, our regular announcements of forthcoming events will help you prepare to participate in good time.
