Language learning is most effective when there is personal emotional involvement between students and when the focus is on human interaction rather than materials or techniques alone. Success depends more on the relationships and experiences shared between people in the classroom than any other factors. If a student is struggling to learn using standard teaching methods, teachers should consider adapting their approach to better match how that individual learns.

emotional involvement.
→ Language learning success depends less
on materials and techniques and more on
what goes inside and between the people
in the classroom.

teach, maybe we should think about
the way they learn.”
