A very interesting site for language learners
I found this site a couple of days ago and I think the authors have many interesting things to say to all language learners.

Part of that is what I have been preaching. I guess is yet, another approach to learning a language.
I teach something similar in my classes. |

I have found another one for Spanish students about ELO (ELO means Español como Lengua Extranjera). This is from the Ministerio de Educación español.

Wouldn't it be ELE?

They are actually trying to discourage students from trying to speak until they're completely sure of what they're doing, because they believe making mistakes is so terribly harmful to your learning. Pure madness! I also read through this thread, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: http://www.antimoon.com/forum/2002/41.htm Jeff Hook is the only sane one in that thread, and look what a hard time he was having. Hahahahaha..

I agree that repeatedly speaking incorrectly is very harmful to learning, because you begin to remember the WRONG way. I have a few phrases in Spanish that I have used wrong enough times that it is really hard for me to correct them. I wish I had never started saying things wrong. I'd rather keep my mouth shut until I know how to say it right.

Maybe if you write them repeteadly, you'll learn them. When I had to study the phrasal verbs I invented some tales with them, in English, of course. And in this way, I learnt them. Maybe I should do it again!

If you constantly speak like you want, and do not pay attention to being corrected, or how other people talk, and hence not even being keen at your own errors, then yes, it is detrimental, but believe me, the person does not care about improving in that language. Ie: I go to Burger King and ask: Me want hamburger. I am sure I am going to get a hamburger. However, if after 20 years of being in the US I still use: me want hamburger, what gives? How a normal person is not to listen to 20 more people before him/her asking for a hamburger in a 1000 other way? "I'll have a hamburger", Let me have a hamburger.." etc... It beats me! So I leave that person alone. Simple. |
