Today I am so excited to be writing my first blog entry for my language and writing blog, Communication for Change.<br /><br />For many of us, March brings the promise of spring and revival. For me (and for many others, I suspect), it is also a time to take stock of the past winter months and to take positive steps forward into the rest of the year. As a language instructor, part of my "to do" list for March involves thinking about new and exciting ways to promote the importance of well-chosen words in speaking and writing.<br /><br />Recently I began subscribing online to the <em>Huffington Post</em> and am delighted by the breadth and quality of much of the writing that I find there. Today, Frank Luntz has posted "The 11 Words for 2011." For now, I will only ask you to read this article and think about the messages you pick up. Please feel free to post comments, and we'll start a discussion tomorrow!
