<Hi/Zdravei Roumiana...
I would like to stress on the works of Dr. Lozanov's Accelerated
Learning; Dr. Asher's Total Physical Response and Dr. Feuerstein's
Structural Cognitive Modifiability approaches in teaching a
foreign/second language.
On 10-12 October 1997 Dr. Asher held a conference in Istanbul, Turkey
under sponsorship of White Point Foundation where he demonstrated some
style together with a number of participants in Arabic language.
You might wish to take into consideration the cultural-historical
beginning points in the life of a child in relation to his/her
interactions with "others"...
