Document Summary
Sit in circle facing each other teacher invites people to say things in their native language they translate student who spoke repeats translation. Help/support by sharing info between classmates to learn. Total dependence on prof independence (create their own sentences) Completely improvised total dependence may not be useful. Sugestology: humans use 4 - 10% of their brain, rest triggered by suggestions. Suggestion/desuggestion: make ppl believe they can learn more than they think they can. Create right environment to elicit learning (music, comfortable chairs, lighting, yoga alert but relaxed, etc. ) Assuming false identity = protects language ego = more open to take risks. Activating both hemispheres (language = left brain, action = right) to create links. Can"t do it for long (run out of commands or boring) L2 learning is like l1 learning: don"t teach grammar; learn on their own. Produce when they are ready (forcing would make too many mistakes - must build support first)
