Title: #Langchat Topic: Reconcile Different Views and Methods in Your World Language Department
Body:
From http://calicospanish.com/blog/
#Langchat is a group of language teachers who converse every Thursday evening via Twitter. On January 21, participants discussed collaboration and conflict resolution in language departments. What can you do when you and your colleagues use different methods and have different philosophies, yet must work together?
The consensus was that teachers can work together peacefully if they share a common destination, a focus on language use, and an agreement to respect each other.
