How it Works

we view learning as involving an array of complex cognitive processes that involve the processing of information/input from external sources (i.e., teachers, fellow learners, textbooks and other learning resources, etc.), relating new information with old knowledge and also with other new information, developing understanding and insight regarding this information. Learning also involves acquiring or attaining a level of mastery and automaticity in processing or using this learned information, and communicating the knowledge and skills one has developed to others. Through the meticulously planned training method we strive to maximize learning opportunities, Encourage learner autonomy, Increase language awareness (tolerant of learner errors) Contextualize language input, Integrate language skills. We use the effective method of critical thinking to enhance the listening and speaking skills of the learners. Our focus is on the following factors throughout our training program. C...

It's really frustrating! Why does this happen? Why is it so hard to bring words to mind when you need to use them? The answer is related to... Active vs. passive vocabulary Your passive vocabulary includes words that you can recognize and understand if you see them, or if someone else says them to you.
