Multisensory Synchro Learning for Second Language

Listening-based
Multisensory Synchro Learning
(L-MSL)
Second Language Acquisition

L-MSL stresses:

Language is first listened
and spoken,
then it is read and written.


L-MSL incorporates
our inherent competence with acquired skills
through multisensory inputs – proactive interaction of

Listening (ears)
Speaking (mouth and tongue)
Reading (eyes)
Writing (hands)

What is L-MSL?


L-MSL is a Multisensory Learning Approach,
which emphases Listening-based Synchronisation of Listening,
Speaking, Reading and Writing practice in Repetition.

Why Listening - based Learning?


Sound Sound is at the beginning of
processing any language acquisition.
Listening extensively
Perception skills is the first steps of the
phonological, lexical
and syntactic acquisition
Synthesis skills
of target language.

Meaning Analysis skills Context
processing processing


Why Multisensory Learning?


Apart from Broca’s area and
Wernicke’s area, a third
convergence zone for
language learning is
massively connected to the
auditory, visual, and
somatosensory cortexes,
where various sensory
modalities are combined
with groups of interconnected
neurons whose synapses
strengthened by their
simultaneous firing.

Why Synchronised Learning?


Comprehension
Listening, speaking,

Repetition

Dictation

reading and writing
synchronized and
interacted for maximum
learning results.

LISTENING PRACTICE

SPEAKING PRACTICE

READING PRACTICE

WRITING PRACTICE

Why Repetitious Learning?


To learn new word by
repeating will effect and
strengthen the new
connections among various
circuits. The more frequently
the neural circuits linked and
fire together, the greater
chance they will fire in
unison on a subsequent
occasion, which results in
permanently hardwiring
together for long-term
memory.

Principles and Techniques


Listening Techniques

Dictation

Dictation is to write down the
Compre- words of contents as many as
hension possible.

Comprehension is to
Imitation paraphrase the listening as
accurately as possible.

Imitation is to imitate the
pronunciation and restate it as
Repetition clearly as possible.

Repetition is to repeat the
listening as many times as
possible.

Speaking Techniques

Vital Force and Ice-breaker
pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary
reading, writing and listening comprehension

1. Centered on practical sentences and paragraphs;
2. Speak as loudly and fast as possible;
3. Pronounce as clearly and accurately as possible;
4. Repeat as many times as possible until you can blurt it out;
5. Tongue training with fast repeated speaking


Reading Techniques

Build up
Extend speed and Fluency
language command

improve active listening, expressive
speaking skills, and providing good
models for writing.


Writing Techniques

5 Steps of Writing Practice in L-MSL

Write down the words you understand in sequence

Leave those words you do not understand in blank

Make up those missing words by repeated listening

Verify and correct the words according to the transcript
Repeat above until you can complete the dictation


Conclusion

“Language learning lies not in
expensive equipment, exotic methods,
sophisticated linguistic analyses,
or new laboratories,
but in full utilisation of what we already have.
Language acquisition occurs
when language is used for what it was
designed for, communication.”
- Stephen Krashen
