Synopsis

This book introduces an innovative language teaching methodology based on the author's extensive experience and study of human learning. The author challenges traditional grammar-based and phrase-based methods, arguing that they are unnatural and ineffective. Instead, his method mimics the natural language acquisition process, introducing elements of a language one at a time and gradually building upon them. This method emphasizes speaking and listening over reading and writing, and focuses on practical application rather than abstract rules. The author provides a detailed description of his method, including instructions for teachers and exercises for students, and discusses the broader implications of his approach for language teaching. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of language learning and teaching, and provides a valuable resource for educators and language learners alike.
