I stopped by to see John Colin Steele in scenic Wolseley where we discussed Having a sense of humour, the most beautiful language, the language of skateboarding and other specialized languages, teaching grammar, the relevance of ‘social justice’ for framing writing, what students need for the 21st century and how English teachers can prepare them, millennials, Colin’s experience learning English in the Sixth grade in Switzerland, a great lesson to stimulate writing, and treating each writer as an individual.
