Whilom, as old stories tellen us,
There was a duke that hight Theseus:
Of Athens he
was lord and governor,
And in his tim such a conqueror
That greater was there none under the sun.
Full many a rich country had he won:
What with his wisdom and his chivalry,
He conquered all the reign of feminy,
That whilom was y-clepd Scythia,
And wedded the queen Hyppolita,

Jordan often argues “the research says…” In fact, the research hasn’t been quite as clear on the benefits of TBLT as he would like us to believe. He’s only citing the research that supports his claims.

This week’s discussion will focus on an interview with Geoff Jordan, who is passionate about CLT and TBLT. I had never heard of him before, but I find his interview entertaining (he really feels strongly about TBLT!) and I think he gives us some food for thought. It’s a lighter video– most of the content will be review (he does talk about different syllabi, which we’ll be discussing next week, so that part will be a preview). However, it does distill some of the issues in TBLT in a world of globalized English.
Take a look!

(Links to an external site.)
Then, consider Jordan’s view that we should “burn the bloody textbooks and all the crap that’s in it!” (I told you he would be very enthusiastic!!! He curses quite a bit!!). To what extent is he right about the harms of the industrialization and the commodification of TESOL, and the importance of moving radically to TBLT? To what extent is he wrong? Feel free to draw on both the research and your teaching/tutoring experiences. How would you respond to him if you could speak with him?
ALSO, we discussed briefly the lack of diverse voices in TBLT (with notable exceptions of Prabhu and Han). If you would like, reflect a bit on this point. Why has TBLT research been so concentrated in western, largely white, contexts? Obviously, we will not arrive at an answer, but it is worth discussing!

DISCLAIMER: Jordan often argues “the research says…” In fact, the research hasn’t been quite as clear on the benefits of TBLT as he would like us to believe. He’s only citing the research that supports his claims.

What are the causes of postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression can occur after a woman has delivered
a baby. This form of depression can include symptoms such as loss of energy,
lasting sadness, anxious or empty feelings, and feelings of helplessness. A CDC
case study shows that about 1 out of 10 women in the United States reported
symptoms that suggest they experienced an episode of major depression in the
last year. Using the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), CDC
research shows that nationally, about 1 in 8 women experience symptoms of
postpartum depression.” Some women who give birth will experience
postpartum depression, which is not due to any fault of their own. Many experts
believe that PPD occurs in different people for many other reasons, but
evidence shows that some things can raise women’s chances. (Michael W. Smith,
MD on August 04, 20) “Some things that can raise the chances of postpartum
depression include A history of depression before becoming pregnant, or during
Pregnancy, Age at time of Pregnancy (the younger you are, the higher the
chances), Ambivalence about the Pregnancy, Children (the more you have, the
more likely you are to be depressed in later Pregnancy), Family history of mood
disorders, Going through an extremely stressful event, like a job loss or
health crisis, Having a child with special needs or health problems, Having
twins or triplets, Having a history of depression or premenstrual dysphoric
disorder (PMDD), Limited social support, Living alone, Marital conflict,
There’s no one cause of postpartum depression, but these physical and emotional
issues may contribute, Hormones. The dramatic drop in estrogen and progesterone
after you give birth may play a role. Other hormones produced by your thyroid
gland also may drop sharply and make you feel tired, sluggish, and
depressedlack of sleep. When you’re sleep-deprived and overwhelmed, you may
have trouble handling even minor problems. Anxiety. You may be anxious about
your ability to care for a newborn; Self-image. You may feel less attractive,
struggle with your sense of identity, or feel that you’ve lost control over
your life. Any of these issues can contribute to postpartum depression.”
There is no singular cause for postpartum depression, but there
are some things that pregnant women should be aware of. It’s essential to
understand the symptoms of postpartum depression so that you can get in touch
with a counselor or health care professional for help. However, before
understanding the symptoms of postpartum depression, it can be helpful to know
more about the disorder. (Betterhelp, 2020)
Common Risk Factors
Mental health can be tricky when it comes to determining
risk factors. Things are more concrete with other health issues: high
cholesterol, family history of diabetes, and a poor diet. For mental health
disorders like postpartum depression, the risk factors are less concrete. There
are, however, risk factors to be on the lookout for. Those include: You’ve had
depression before
Family members have had depression or other mental health
disorders, Relationship issues, Stressful life events, and experiences
recently; Your baby is ill or special needs. Financial strain, Difficulty with
breastfeeding, Multiple births, Pregnancy was unexpected. (Betterhelp, 2020)
