Podcast Episode 2: Circumlocution
What is circumlocution? Can it be taught? Should you teach it? When? If novices shouldn’t be required to produce language, should we teach them circumlocution as a tool to solve communication problems? All of these questions are addressed in this second episode of the Musicuentos Black Box Podcast.
