I have always assumed that it i the only way to acquire a language but this course has taught me that there are other ways. Indeed the size of my second language classes has limited my teachers' ability to provide role playing games or word games which are suited to smaller groups. I hope that...  [Read more]

As a teacher it is very impotant to distinguish between these for students from other countires, particularly those in which past, present, and future tenses are not as complicated as in the English language.

The first thing we need to do when we want to learn a new language, pronunciation. At least we need to read and say it out. Especially for Chinese English-leaners, pronunciation is one of the most difficult part in English-learning. A good teacher is a key to success. Once a teacher understands phonology, the teacher will be able to pass the knowledge to students. To have a good...  [Read more]

I probably enjoy this kind of learning the most, be it a far cry from typical grammar study. I am still struggling with what exactly \"engages,\" \"promotes study,\" and \"activates\" the language acquisition, but I agree with the idea that there are different steps in the learning/acquisition process. I think \"pre-teaching\" is a HUGE tool to use, as I am also learning...  [Read more]
