Dear Teachers,
A few highlights of the ELT “buzz” below. Thanks for reading and subscribing!
My reading tip this week is a Scientific American piece about research that shows tired adult learners learn language much like children. This highlights the fact of implicit learning and how learning a language is so much an unconscious affair - as most SLA research supports.
Regards,
