Editor's Notes
- During my education, I have learned a lot of theory, including, but not limited to management theory, personnel theory, theory of theory development, organizational theory, and others. The most applicable theory I have learned over the years has been the language learning theory that I will present to you. We will go over a few of the most important aspects AND how to adapt your lessons to this theory.

- Most of what we are going to discuss today comes from Stephen Krashen. And I have added a little that I have developed over the many years that I have taught ESOL. But let’s first look at how we learn a language. Has anyone in here ever been a baby? Great! Then you learned your first language naturally. And it is still the best way to learn any new language. We follow the exact same steps – we hear it, we say it, we read it, and we write it. If you have ever been around children under the age of 3, you hear them mimicking language. Sometimes they can make a few comprehensible words, but they are always trying to speak. If we didn’t speak to them, they wouldn’t try to speak to us. In elementary school, students FIRST learn how to read. They may learn the mechanics of writing at the same time they are reading – but reading comes first.
