Why creating a community of inquiry matters
- A self-regulating community of inquiry establishes its own norms and routines around speaking the target language, communicating, and trying new things
- A self-regulating community of inquiry allows group members to feel safe expressing emotions and learning from their mistakes
- A self-regulating community of inquiry means you don’t have to spend your time reminding students they are on an academic trip or policing conversations to make sure they are speaking the target language
