Learning to Learn: Learning Therapy in a College Classroom.

This paper describes the structure and rationale of the Language and Learning Seminar, a college course that grapples with learned helplessness issues that are frequently associated with LD. Peer/mentors play a vital role in its dynamic oral, written, and electronic communications. Elements of the course work synergistically to bypass longstanding emotional and linguistic barriers to learning. Yalom's classification of therapeutic elements in group therapy serves as a context in which to explain the learning therapy provided by York University since 1987. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
