Building on the framework of Peters and Armstrong's (1998) three Types of Teaching/Learning, this article explores the use of dialogue to foster a collaborative and democratic learning experience. There are three conditions under which dialogue can be facilitated as a part of the collaborative learning experience: (a) intent, (b) a dialogical space, and (c) a shared sense of the other. Each of these conditions is examined in detail, and examples from the authors practice as adult educators illustrate the application of these ideals.
