Food for Thought! Students need to feel good about themselves and their
relationships with others in second language learning situations. (Rigg & Hudelson, 1986)
Students can learn to read and write in a second language while the develop their oral skills. (Rigg & Hudelson, 1986)
Second language competency develops most quickly when the learner focuses on accomplishing tasks rather than focusing on the language itself. (Rigg & Hudelson, 1986; Krashen & Terrell, 1983)
Learners acquire a second language through trial and error mistakes are part of the natural process. (Rigg & Hudelson, 1986; Krashen & Terrell, 1983)
