The value of verbs

March 4, 2008

Just reading van Lier’s 2007 article on Action-based teaching, autonomy and identity. He mentions two writers who have coined new verbs-:

grammaring – Larsen-Freeman 2003 and

languaging – Swain 2005 as an alternative to the noun ‘output’.

Obviously our skills are verbs too – reading, writing, speaking, listening. Do we start to talk about

CALLing as well?
