jargon guru
A while back, one of my mentors shared the following thoughts as related to “enlightenment” and jargon in teaching and training:
The naive beginner asks questions and really wonders things.
The second stage is when someone tries to be an expert or a guru and tries to master the jargon and the terminology and tries to prove that he/she can do it.
The guru stage is when the person abandons using the terminology and goes back to the naive questions.
[This is of course not a critique of anyone or the education practices that they are currently undertaking….just something interesting I thought I”d share.]
ELT Rants, Reviews, and Reflections 
Well shared and very interesting indeed. I’m in kind of an anti-jargon kind of mood myself lately and this post is giving me some much needed confidence to maybe take the next step to a jargon-free-life.
I am glad I shared it then….but at the same time I feel like perhaps we were on the “right” track when talking about the game and the context and the audience and everything like that. I dunno.
