It has been my role, for many years, to show students that learning English has to go beyond learning isolated grammar structures and senseless repetition of unconnected language content. In regards to what was presented in this unit, I agree with all the principles shown there. Keeping students engaged by connecting the content of my classes to their own lives; avoiding memorization of content by repetition, while presenting opportunities of memorization that comes from constant use and practice; and, most importantly, showing students how gaining access to the language can open them to a world of knowledge, culture and new opportunities.
