Summarize(the(article(in(3(sentences.(
Meaning does not exist in a context but in learners and the representations they build
from uptake related to it.
Foreign Language teaching methods mostly followed CLT guidelines

I found this article very informative and interesting for foreign language learners and teachers.
Many of the ideas she presented I agree with.
I agree that various language methods have been developed and used over the past century.
One of the aims of studies of uptake is to distinguish between learning opportunities created by
the teacher.
I enjoyed very much reading this article. It allowed me to critically reflect upon the way students
learning foreign language. The Author presented many valuable points that will help me focus
on any foreign languages class i will teach.
