		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago, I attended a lecture by Prof. Michael McCarthy at Osaka Shoin Women&#8217;s University, and sponsored by Cambridge University Press. The title was &#8220;The Learner&#8217;s Turn&#8221;, meaning both &#8220;It&#8217;s the learner&#8217;s turn to say something&#8221; and &#8220;How learners take turns in conversation&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[The newspaper headline yesterday (Thursday, Nov. 6th, 2008) was イエス・ウィー・キャン  We can what? Americans pride themselves on being a can-do nation: not just a nation of practical people of ability, but also of an optimistic attitude that is expressed in that old chestnut: &#8220;The possible we do straight away.
