More on Language & learning support

There is not just coaching.

If I could layout a table, there would be something like this:

Object of instruction (
in the discipline - needs understanding -ranges from context of culture to context of situation
in the language - needs enhanced text patterns - ranges from region to specific structures/patterns
in English language - needs English patterns - ranges from lexis to grammar to idiom to collocation

Mode of Instruction (pedagogy)
fix - fix mistakes & indicate correction
show - fix & ??
coach - fine-tuning, finessing, extending by making conscious of a detail
instruct - ????
teach - explicit & extensive coverage, extended drilling

This is a continuum from performed to explained, from performed to theorised, from praxis to poesis.
praxis is judgment in hot action; poesis is application of a consciously formulated theoretical or general rule. From 'how' to 'what' to 'why'.

Fit/cross/intersection with Bernstein mob and Jim/Rob article? vertical vs horizontal
Also what I wrote for Rovers on training/helping.
Do all this as topology, not typology.
