Chapter 14

The one thing that stood out to me the most in this chapter is the little excerpt on the first page.  "When given the opportunity to talk about themselves in personally relevant ways, students tend to become much more motivated.  The result is that they want to be able to express their feelings and ideas more in the target language.  They want to communicate.  When this happens, growth becomes a reciprocal process; enhancing personal growth enhances growth in the foreign language."  I agree with Moskowitz a hundred percent.
