I express opinions in a personal capacity.
So far, I've watched "Kabul Beauty", "Radio Dadaab", & "Meet the Barbarians". Looking forward to "Khartoum", "Another Place", and others. Being immersed in one of these is totally different from watching a typical news bulletin about refugees.

Not entirely serious about the P. Marshall connection there. Rhetorical / sarcastic 🙃

“He doesn’t really know why he sacked me,” Ms Powell has told friends. “He was told to do so.” Good God…
Yes, McSweeney MUST go. I wonder if he’s working for Paul Marshall…?

12. Thank you for reading the whole thread! 😊
CARM is designed mainly for training for institutional settings (neighbourhood dispute mediation, etc), but has anyone else adapted CARM for L2 conversation development? Please share any experiences or knowledge of others’ work! #CARM #L2IC

9. It was intensive preparation work, but the implementation and response felt like a breakthrough.☀️ I'm excited to continue developing this line of work and exploring the potential of CARM in training in L2 conversation and intercultural communication.✨

8. Students’ in-class engagement and post-session write-ups were impressively positive and thoughtful. Several mentioned major shifts in their understanding of language, communication, and interactional competence. Some in-service teachers suggested adapting CARM for their own subjects.
