= = Groups become communities when they interact with each other and stay together long enough to form a set of habits and conventions, and when they begin to depend upon each other for the accomplishment of certain goals. The members of our learning community share common goals and we will achieve more success if we support each other in our learning. In the 004C learning community you are encouraged to take charge of your own learning. You share control, and everyone learns, including your teacher!

As a participant in our community, you should be committed to sharing knowledge, motivated to practice skills that will help you accomplish your goals, be willing to engage in dialogue and collaboration, and be a team player.

In this learning community you have the opportunity to improve your language skills through creative and innovative learning activities and to appreciate diversity and multiple perspectives while developing the ability to understand and address your own learning needs.

The ultimate goal of this course is for you to develop metalinguistic and metacognitive skills in order to achieve learner autonomy. The awareness that you gain in this course will hopefully serve as a foundation for your future learning. [|Maryland English Institute] Test
