ABSTRACT
Many years ago I heard an Indian academic-and sage-explaining that in his subcontinent they saw teaching as an activity that brought together two people, one of whom was rather more of a teacher and the other of whom was rather more of a learner, this being an activity in which teaching and learning took place for both. It will be clear from the examples below that I am firmly in favour of just such a joint approach to teaching and learning, and the enhancement of teaching quality, through the types of communicative collaborations I call feedback and formative evaluation.
