Carina's email prompted the memories that 'aanleren' in Dutch is sometimes used for teaching or learning. 'Enseigner' (Teaching) and 'Apprendre' (Learning) are sometimes used interchangeably in French. As an addition to the discussion, 'lecture' in French is 'reading aloud'.
consequently when Helen Trocme translated my book 'Lecturing and Explaining' in 1980 we wrestled how to title it. Her suggestion Bien faire un cours, un expose, une conference. How would you translate Lecturing and Explaining in other languages.
Another interesting derivation is the etymylogical root of competence is competere (Latin): the abiliy to perform. The root of 'skill' is skilje (Norse): the ability to perform. So are competences and skills different?

Hi all,
'Foghlaim' in the Irish language denotes both learning and teaching also. As a precursor to the inaugural EuroSoTL conference in Cork in 2015 we collected up various translations of the 'Scholarship of Teaching and Learning'. A number of european languages don't differentiate between the two T&L. I'll dig the examples out and send on Monday.
Best wishes,
Catherine O'Mahony

Subject: Re: References on the shift from 'teaching' to 'teaching and learning'Since you are interested in etymology and context of use of the words teach and learn..some other languages offer interesting examples, e.g Russian. See an example http://ask.masterrussian.com/111/what-are-the-russian-words-for-teach-learn-and-study
It's fascinating! When you read Vygotsky, one of the big mistranslations of his work is the word to learn and to teach! So we now use Vygotsky as one of they key authors for social learning and learning from each other ignoring the fact that his idea of learning was actually learning through imitation of the teaching person.
I recall a similar thread in this mai list a few year ago where people mentioned German as another pplangusge where the word can be used interchangeably?? I may be wrong

Subject: Re: References on the shift from 'teaching' to 'teaching and learning'Actions speak louder than words: the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus ('the dark one') was famous not least because when he had finished writing his book, he went and put it in the library at Ephesus for public consumption (books were terrifyingly expensive in the 5th century BC).
Clearly he understood the distinction...;)
