Bottom-up processing integral to language learning. Back to basics. Becoming teacher nurturer. #frEDmatters

@tblt2019 argument for explicit teaching of grammar on the L2 class.

[Hilary Aitken @mllehilary]

@tblt2019 better chance of retrieving knowledge if retrieval context matches the context in which it was learned.
