“I think about ninety percent of the problem in
teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to
help the students get interested.”
Noam Chomsky
Stephen Krashen
“The best methods are therefore those that supply
‘comprehensible input’ in low anxiety situations,
containing messages that students really want to
hear.”
“Learning from context is so important that some
studies suggest that first language learners learn
most of their vocabulary in this way.”
Paul Nation
