I strongly believe that language learning can be successful when both the teacher and the student make a commitment. We must share a common set of goals and work toward them together. Initially, I came up with my own Teacher's Pledge. Now I would like to offer a Learner's Pledge. Let's make learning happen!
In all that I do I promise to try my best.
I will see each day and every situation as an opportunity to learn.
I will not fear mistakes; I will reflect and learn from them.
I will try to help other learners because by doing so I can learn, too.
I will voice questions to my teachers and to myself because without questions there can be no answers.
I will have respect for learning because it is one of the greatest gifts of all.
NOTE: You can purchase a mini poster with this pledge at my CafePress store.
