TALL-IL Videoconference Terrill/Sandrock - Jan 14 2015 Slide 38 Learning to speak another's language means taking one's place in the human community. It means reaching out to others across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Language is far more than a system to be explained. It is our most important link to the world around us. Language is culture in motion. It is people interacting with people."
