Practice to Theory to Practice: Sharing My Story Brent A. Jones Kobe Gakuin University Abstract In the spirit of this year’s conference theme, Sharing Our Stories, this paper introduces some of the milestones and turning points in the author’s professional development as a language instructor. The overall aim is to stimulate discussion on a short list of both accepted and emerging theories of learning, especially as related to second language (L2) teaching and the practical implications. One underlying assumption is that existing learning and instructional theories have much to offer the practitioner in terms of both guiding principles and practical prescriptive advice. !"#$%#&'()*+,'-'#./01234567#89:;#?1@A#BC DE5#FGHI'JKLMNK,OPQ@A2RSTUVHWX:YZ[\]R]5[^_` abcA2Rd81e@2d8fg[\]RhN+ijkK6l[LmYZ1n#op5#qr [s2A6Otu]R715]Svw#YZx>y[\]Rd8:>?[>z#g{|O}~R 1•€[op5•3]‚ƒV#„
