JAEPL Volume 19 ¿ Winter 2013-2014 | THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSEMBLY FOR EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING, JAEPL, provides a forum to encourage research, theory, and classroom practices involving expanded concepts of language. It contributes to a sense of community in which scholars and educators from pre-school through the university exchange points of view and cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. JAEPL is especially interested in helping those teachers who experiment with new strategies for learning to share their practices and confirm their validity through publication in professional journals. | CONTENTS OF VOLUME 19: AEPL Keynote: "Using Careless Speech for Careful, Well-Crafted Writing-Whatever Its Style" by Peter Elbow | "Sheep in Wolves' Clothing: How Composition's Social Construction Reinstates Expressivist Solipsism" by Keith Rhodes and Monica McFawn Robinson | "The Journey Metaphor's Entailments for Framing Learning" by Bradley Smith | "A Teacher's Terminal Illness in the Secondary Classroom" by Sarah Hochstetler | "It's (Not) Just a Figure of Speech: Recuing Metaphor" by Anna O.
