From www.teachthemenglish.com - May 31, 2014 8:33 PM

Today's infographic focuses on the popular grammar point of adverbs of frequency. It is split into two parts. Firstly, it focuses on the common teaching point of ‘indefinite time’ adverbs such as often, always and rarely. The second focus is on the much less taught, but equally important ‘definite time’ adverbs like annually, daily and monthly.

Peter Rettig's curator insight, August 25, 2014 8:39 AM

Interesting study. We observed when staying  in Italy and Spain that the first few weeks we could neither discern words (nor, obviously, any meaning) when watching  TV. But then,  sounds became words we could distinguish and ( due to our studies) after a few more weeks could then increasingly guess their meaning.

Learning #languages is an essential part of a modern lifestyle. Even if you are not a #linguist, knowing a foreign language can become a real asset for your #business and career. Professional language learners give you some advice how to make the learning process easier and much more effective.
Ivo Nový's curator insight, November 22, 2014 12:42 AM

One of the most common barriers to conversing in a new language is the fear of making mistakes. So, don't worry about making mistakes. Native speakers are like doting parents: any attempt from you to communicate in their language is objective proof that you are a gifted genius. They’ll appreciate your effort and even help you.

A New Role for Avatars: Learning Languages

A New Role for Avatars: Learning Languages | Bilingually Enriched Learners | Scoop.it
From blogs.kqed.org - May 27, 2014 3:46 AM

Most experts agree that the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in it.Now, with  more sophisticated technology, another theory around language learning is being tested: the use of avatars to practice speaking.

 

Alongside traditional methods, like listening, repeating, and digital flashcards, created by companies like Rosetta Stone,  Livemocha, and AccelaStudy, a few tech companies have leveraged the idea that becoming someone else helps to learn a foreign language, especially when speaking it.

From blogs.kqed.org - December 31, 2014 6:45 PM

English professor Anne Curzan makes an unusual request of her students at the University of Michigan — she asks students to teach her two new slang words. While some might cringe at the use of YOLO or hangry in an academic setting, Curzan, who is also a language historian, appreciates the creativity in the words that make their way into the vernacular, and ultimately, the dictionary.


In this TED video, she explains the role of dictionary editors and how they view language, including slang:

Valentina Hernández Hernández's curator insight, August 1, 2018 10:58 AM
The article presents ten innovations that have impacted the most English Teaching. All of them are related with new platforms, Apps, methodologies or techniques that have caused a positive change in the way English teachers carry out their classes. It also mentions the importance of working on lessons that include at least one of the ten things it mentions in the top in order for the students to enjoy the class and motivate. 
Alejandra Lopez's curator insight, September 12, 2018 12:41 PM
The way how teachers teach English is being transformed since now we have many tools and resources to adapt our classes to students' needs. Now, the teacher is not the center, the student plays an important role and teachers allow them to be aware of their own process of learning. What is more, teachers are promoting the critical thinking in their students so they do not recieve all the information as passive learners, but they process what they are learning and also they develops curiosity and autonomy to learn more. 
Diego Herrón García's curator insight, March 13, 2020 8:22 PM
Although I criticized the excess overuse of technology by human beings in another article, I must also agree that it has come out with many innovations that have made our lives easier. For example: I agree on the fact that learning has passed to being exclusively teacher-centered to being more student-centered, it is to say that learners can depend more on themselves when it comes to learning anything. Technological innovations have helped students have more independence on their learning and they no longer depend exclusively on a school or teacher to learn anything. Additionally, the online platforms have been a great benefit since students can help each other when they do not understand something, it also benefit group work when students live too far from each other, and also help student-teacher interaction. It must also be added that technology has, somehow, contributed to the environment in the sense that a lot of homework can be done digitally instead of writing on papers, which, of course, helps the planet. To conclude, technological innovations have helped both teachers and learners to become more competitive thanks to the access to endless information that can be used as a means to better ourselves in every aspect of our lives..
