This chapter discusses the self-reflective inquiry that seeks to broaden understanding of team learning in higher education by emphasising the importance of practice and collaboration for meaning making and community building. Central to the chapter conceptualisation of team learning are groupings of shared activity called communities of practice. Faculty members belong to a number of communities of practice (CoP) is characterised as learning networks or teams. Ideally, one can share their passions for learning, teaching, community service and scholarship by interacting with likeminded individuals as endeavour to do them better. The liberal arts curriculum was taught in English to second language learners and required an unusual degree of interdisciplinary collaboration between English language teaching (ELT) educators and subject-area specialists. The chapter reflects the definition of team learning and elaborates it beyond the ELT classroom by emphasising learning opportunities within the array of CoP typically found in higher education communities. © 2016 selection and editorial material, Akira Tajino, Tim Stewart and David Dalsky.
