Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Geraldine: How prior knowledge can be activate
  2. Someone who travels a lot would have a different view and concept of the world compared to someone who doesn’t.
  3. it is necessary both for the learner to hold some relevant prior knowledge, and for the teacher to ‘make the connection’ to help the learner recognize its relevance
