10. Language learning is AN INSTRUCTIONAL WAY OF TEACHING a language in which the children are told about the STRUCTURE, GRAMMAR RULES and PATTERNS of a language which they have to memorize. Drawbacks:- A student who has memorized the rules of the language may be able to succeed on a standardized test of English language but may not be able to speak or write correctly. LANGUAGE LEARNING

11. By the time a child is 5 years old, she/he can express ideas clearly and almost perfectly from the point of view OF language and grammar. Do their parents sit with them to explain the workings of the language? IF WE DON’T TEACH THE CHILDREN RULES OF THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE, THEN WHY FOR SECOND LANGUAGE. It is only through exposure to the language and meaningful communication that a language is acquired. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

15. Don’t scratch your head. Try this: Write some actions that had already taken place when you woke up in the morning . When I woke up in the morning, my mother _______________________. Underline the word that tells you more about the action : The children reached the shore safely.

16. AVOID METALANGUAGE There is no point in students knowing the terms past simple , irregular verbs or adverb of frequency or degree if they can’t use the actual structures or words they refer to. Our ultimate goal is communication .

22. Mistakes are good Why did my daughter say feet correctly for a while, and then go back to calling them foots? Actually , she hasn't 'gone back' at all; she's gone forward. When she used the word feet  as a toddler, she was just imitating what she had heard. But now she has learned a rule for making plurals, which is that you add the  s  sound to the end of the word. So she's just applying her new rule to all nouns - even the exceptions to the rule, like foot/feet . We adults may not say ‘ goed ’, ‘ standed ’ or ‘ eated ,’ but adding ‘- ed ’ to a verb is the basic way to form the past tense in English. Most verbs work that way, and any new verb that enters the language has to form its past tense with ‘- ed ’—that’s why the past tense of ‘blog’ has to be ‘blogged.’ T hey’ll sort it all out eventually, but for now, rest assured that this is progress; it's evident that they’re going beyond imitation and actually learning the rules of the English language.

23. The ‘Critical P eriod’ of language learning The children can learn as many languages as exposed to from birth to the age of twelve years as long as they interact with speakers of that language ona n everyday basis.
