Now, I am learning the why, with a reason to pay attention. :)In this session, I have leart the raising and falling part when we...  [Read more]

This method puts teaching into a clear structure which can be built on and ensures that students are actively involved whilst also learning and applying the language skills.

Most paragraphs reminded me of situations when I was in class, and how some critical situations could have been avoided by the use of different discipline and attitude from my teachers, while I also understood why some of my teachers were acting this or that way. For example, why it never worked when they were yelling at us or keeping too much distance from us.

I can see why this is difficult to learn and why teachers must have good knowledge to prevent student confusion and keep them interested and motivated. I also see how focusing on tenses will actually create opportunities for student to use and learn the language. I find I have to work backwards, I know the correct sentence (and recognize the wrong one). I then have to figure out why it is correct/incorrect, based on the rules. I hope it becomes easier with more use and exposure. Again...  [Read more]

I wonder where they came up with them! I use these conventions correctly and it is good to know why we use them the way we do. Of course, a student of English would want to know \"why\" something is said a certain way. Unfortunately, English language learners must memorize certain things since there is no rhyme or reason for some spellings for irregular past participles, for example. I am glad I learned English as a native speaker! Why doesn't through...  [Read more]
