Scholarship as a Conversation



It is a conversation because scholars discuss a concept and come up with different ideas about the same concept just like in literature review. They agree to disagree by analyzing the text as they develop knowledge in the process. for example the three theorists Vygotsky, Piaget and Bandura, they all believe in learning as a social practice,even though they believe in that they have different ideas of practicing it.

There is a belief by scholars that learners learn through play.  I would come up with the game that will teach language using other  languages for everyone to understand because language can be a barrier to learning. If everyone is engaged learning will take place because it will be focusing on different perspective and abilities.

I will give them a song or game that in one of SA languages the i will ask them  to  transform it or sing it i different languages to enhance understanding and to learn each other's languages. They can critique and transform the song to ensure that it is ethical. They can discuss the topic like can language be a barrier to learning?
