Change is a predictable and natural response to evolving needs (Stoller 1991). But that does not mean that change is easy, and it does not mean that change occurs in the foreign-language classroom just because teachers teach. Yet change is at the basis of education; change in the language classroom is continuous and ongoing. In fact, education is change. Specifically, foreign- language students who are learning how to use noun clauses or to guess a word s meaning from context or to request a librarian s help or to structure a paragraph are constantly making changes in their background knowledge and experience, and in their learning styles and strategies. This article discusses the processes of change that occur in the language classroom and suggests that teachers who consider the integral relationship between education and change can better assist their students in the learning (that is, the change) process.
