However, just 100 years ago, exotic plant introductions were widely celebrated and were part of the mission of botanical gardens around the world. As a result, an important area of research in conservation biology is to evaluate the invasive potential of plants that occur in botanical gardens. Like most botanical gardens, The Honolulu Botanical Gardens (HBG) historically had unregulated plant introductions. . such a thing as absolute truth, how could we know what it is? Considering . the .

This presentation begins by assuming that linguistic ways of knowing, analyzing and sharing lead to similar, but unique, positive outcomes. Students trained in linguistic epistemologies, or ways of knowing and thinking, develop valuable abilities that greatly enhance essential life-skills and opportunities for career, personal and interpersonal success. I will review the research related to the development of science and mathematics epistemologies for pedagogical purposes in an effort to develop a model that could be applied to linguistic epistemologies. This will be followed by a critique of the previous, decidedly sparse, work conducted in developing an epistemology of linguistics for pedagogical purposes. I will compare and contrast this work with the proposed model and conclude by suggesting a developmental agenda for linguistic pedagogical practice based upon, not only what we want our students to know about language, but also how we would like them to think about how language functions..
