SEMINAR: Anna Soter - Language, Thought and Action

In this conceptual discussion on the relationships between language, thought, and action, Anna Soter proposes a reconceptualization of language as a field of energy, and an argument as to why it matters.

As far removed as it may appear to be in the context of mainstream education, this proposal offers a reorientation of our views on the interrelationships of language and thought as a field of constantly reprogrammable energy within the context of education.
