If unconditional love and genuine enthusiasm are present, praise isn’t necessary. If they’re absent, praise won’t help.

���...it appears that Story-Listening and SSR meet these requirements. Stories can be made comprehensible to second language acquirers through the use of Comprehension-Aiding Supplementation applied to words and phrases that acquirers may have difficulty understanding.”

“…the best way to ensure progress in a second language is to provide “optimal input,” input that is comprehensible, highly interesting, and provides large quantities of rich second language input. "

@radiomike369 @AscendLanguages @skrashen That's right. Jim Trelease says a teacher is a matchmaker between books (authors) and students.

@takavet1 私はそれでも諦めずに最後まで戦います。

@alfiekohn I think that students find reading logs a burden when reading is forced, and when they are not experiencing pleasure. I think that the reading teacher's role is to guide them to become self-selected readers.

@skrashen An excellent letter to the editor!

Spoiler alert: Nearly completely acquired.

We will talk about what optimal input is and how it could be applied in classrooms for optimal results based on research.

@skrashen From Wikipedia: "...He devoted his waking hours to mathematics, even into his later years—indeed, his death came only hours after he solved a geometry problem at a conference in Warsaw..."

@Goodable @NettieMeraMera @dollyslibrary Is Dolly paying the publisher for the books? Or is the publisher giving the books away?

Story-Listening and GSSR teacher aims at being the 4) teacher.

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

From worst to best:
Curriculum designed by...
1) distant authorities
2) teacher, well in advance
3) teacher, for these particular students
4) teacher, WITH these particular students
