Changing Perspectives

This article was very interesting to me in that what I got out of it was not our techniques of teaching a language but how dependent on the learner and their successes/failures is what matters.  This approach takes the focus off of different strategies and ideas of what it takes in SLA and puts the pressure on the learner and their skills of acquiring new knowledge. 
"The questions of interest were how good learners approached language learning tasks differently from poor learners and what characteristics of learners predisposed them to good or poor learning."
This quote from the text explains much of what I understood .  Other than students with some sort of disability, we as students who are future teachers aren't really taught that students are "good" or "poor" learners; we assume that all without a disability should be able to learn with the right strategies.
