The Jigsaw activity was a nice way of getting everyone's interpretation of the approaches mentioned in Chapter One. I like that more than half of the class are current teachers and that many are teaching a language other than English. For my fellow ESL majors and myself, this allows us an opportunity to hear and learn about the experiences actual teachers have in L2 teaching and acquisition. The chapter was a nice way to ease into the book. As ESL majors, we learn about the different methods and approaches from the past to present and the chapter brought back many of the lessons and discussions we have in our linguistic courses.
