When a teacher becomes aware of new developments
in pedagogical theory or technology, the first
reaction is frequently Sounds great!, and the
second but? There is almost invariably
conflict between the ideals stimulated by the
linguistic theory, the pedagogical approach or
the technological innovation, and the practical
matters which must be taken into consideration
for effective implementation of those
ideals.Brian McCarthy, 1992
