Is Your Language Program Designed for Parrots?
Here are two questions that reveal the appropriateness of a language teaching method or its teachers:
"Could this method work with parrots and achieve close to the same results?"
"Would this teacher rather work with robots (instead of human students)?"
The answer to both these questions in many classes and programs is a resounding 'Yes!' Affirmative answers demonstrate one of the recurring problems in language instruction. Students, particularly young children, cannot reach their language acquisition potential using weak methods.
At SmartNoise, we believe every person has the propensity for learning languages. We use more than twenty-five different methods to ensure that all types of learners can achieve their language goals. Given good methods, success is all but inevitable.
