Our methodology incorporates two aspects.
1) THE PHYSICAL - This method is based on the scientific fact that memory is not involved in the learning language process. Language is a function of the peculiar structure of the human brain. Several areas of the brain have been identified with linguistic skills, such as producing and understanding speech. Parietal Lobe, Left - controls the ability to understand spoken and/or written language. The lobe related to memory is the Temporal Lobe (right & left) controls the visual & verbal memory.
2) LINGUISTIC - Our policy of no translation and no language other than the target language in the class room is in line with, and it is supported by "The Natural Approach - Language Acquisition" in the Classroom by Tracy Terell and Stephen D. Krashen book. We strive with our faculty to reflect in the classroom the same principals. . The Natural Approach theory is that language acquisition occurs in only one way: by understanding messages. We acquire language when we obtain comprehensible input. Our method goal is to supply comprehensible input, and to bring the student to the point where he or she can understand language outside the classroom.
The acquisition-learning distinction
Acquisition Learning
Similar to child first language acquisition Formal knowledge of language
“"picking up"” a language "knowing" about a language
Subconscious Conscious
Implicit knowledge Explicit knowledge
Formal teaching does not help Formal teaching helps
With this method you will speak the language being learned from the very beginning. You'll learn the most common and useful expressions for everyday conversation. Our goal is conversation. The lessons build on one another. This method helps you gradually increase your language skills while reinforcing and perfecting material learned previously.
earn languages the natural way!
