Lýdia Machová - The Power of Setting Priorities in Language Learning [CC English/Español] 

The traditional way of teaching languages usually makes us develop all the main skills of a language at the same time: reading, listening, writing, speaking, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. But do we really need that? And is it the most effective way to learn?
Wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on just two or three areas for a given period of time, and to see greater improvements in those selected areas?
In the talk, Lydia, a language mentor from Slovakia, is going to share her practical experience with two projects. In these projects, dozens of university students and English teachers decided to improve their level of a foreign language by concentrating on just a few areas in their chosen language, and focused on those areas which they felt had the most room for improvement.
Following many hours of practice, both students and teachers gained immense improvements in their chosen areas, and these amazing results spurred them to even higher levels of motivation, to learn more, and improve further.
