This paper originated at a recent IATEFL conference in Slovenia, where Rod Bolitho and Ron Carter spoke on Language Awareness. They later came together with the colleagues named here to explore some of the reasons why Language Awareness has to some degree remained on the periphery of mainstream practices in language teaching and teacher education. The article was written interactively over an extended period of consultation by the authors, and explores questions concerning the theory and practice of language awareness, its descriptive orientations, its relationship with critical social dimensions, and its connections with current theories of language teaching and learning.
