Book Recommendation. ESL/EFL
Dealing with English Fever
Stephen Krashen
In: Selected Papers from the Twelfth International Symposium on English Teaching. English Teachers' Association/ROC, Taipei. (2003)
Taipei: Crane Publishing Company. pp. 100-108.
There is no question that English is crucial in today's world, but the usual approaches to EFL, often based on popular folk-theories of language acquisition, are inefficient. Based on what is known about how language is acquired, age differences, literacy development and bilingual education, a different and less strenuous approach is recommended, featuring comprehensible input-based methodology, recreational reading, and a strong education in the primary language. This program need not begin in early childhood, and is intended to provide the EFL student with the tools to continue to improve in English after formal instruction has ended.
English fever = the overwhelming desire to (1) acquire English, (2) ensure that one's children acquire English, as a second or foreign language.
