2.1.1 Kinds of questions to pose
How can we focus on meaning
• rather than
forms? Learning English
vs. Learning about English The place of
grammar learning and Correction.

2.1.2 Kinds of questions to pose
How can we put communicative aspects
• in classroom - with or without the use of E-mails?
![Page 13: JALT CALL sig 2006](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051209/54859b0db4af9f12048b4629/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

2.1.3 Kinds of further questions to pose
How can we have interactive drills,
so that students can actively participate in class?
How can we create “autonomous learning” environment with Group work?
