Danny Norrington Davies and Richard Chinn have done extensive research on emergent language and have co-authored "Working with emergent language." Danny has over 25 years in the industry and is currently a CELTA and DELTA tutor. His first book "Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons" was a best-seller. Richard has trained teachers all over the world and currently does pre-service and in-service training courses at IH London. He is also an associate professor at King's College London. 

In this episode, Danny & Richard discuss:

  • the rise of emergent language
  • why many were resistant to the idea
  • the imbalance between research on error correction versus emergent language use 
  • incidents that prevent language from emerging 
  • the connections between emergent language and task-based learning
  • how teachers can develop their "emergent language muscle"
  • why the student's agenda supersedes the teacher's 
  • how teachers can utilize emergent language even with beginners
  • why they decided to write a book on emergent language
