multisensory synchro learning for second language
DESCRIPTION
Learn Chinese with http://www.121chineselessons.com. Learning Mandarin Chinese is fun and very rewarding! The Chinese language is tonal; research shows that learning Chinese enhances the brain functions, since the brain processes the tones of the Mandarin Chinese in the right brain before the left brain processes the semantics of the information. 121ChineseLessons developed an unique multisensory learning approach - Listening-based Multisensory Synchro Learning for Second Language Acquisition, which emphases listening-based synchronisation of listening, speaking, reading and writing practice through repetition, and aims to apply a bi-hemisphere learning approach through language sense to incorporate the subconscious acquisition with conscious learning.

Second Language Acquisition
Listening-based Multisensory Synchro Learning
(L-MSL)
www.121ChineseLessons.com
L-MSL stresses:
Language is first listened and spoken,
then it is read and written.

L-MSL incorporates our inherent competence with acquired skills
through multisensory inputs – proactive interaction of
Listening (ears)
Speaking (mouth and tongue)
Reading (eyes)
Writing (hands) www.121ChineseLessons.com

Sound is at the beginning of any language acquisition.
Listening extensively is the first steps of the phonological, lexical
and syntactic acquisition of target language.

Apart from Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area, a third convergence zone for language learning is massively connected to the auditory, visual, and somatosensory cortexes, where various sensory modalities are combined with groups of interconnected neurons whose synapses strengthened by their simultaneous firing.

To learn new word by repeating will effect and strengthen the new connections among various circuits. The more frequently the neural circuits linked and fire together, the greater chance they will fire in unison on a subsequent occasion, which results in permanently hardwiring together for long-term memory.

Imitation is to imitate the pronunciation and restate it as clearly as possible.
Repetition is to repeat the listening as many times as possible.

Dictation is to write down the words of contents as many as possible.

Comprehension is to paraphrase the listening as accurately as possible.

Listening Techniques

1. Centered on practical sentences and paragraphs; 2. Speak as loudly and fast as possible; 3. Pronounce as clearly and accurately as possible; 4. Repeat as many times as possible until you can blurt it out; 5. Tongue training with fast repeated speaking
Vital Force and Ice-breaker
pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary reading, writing and listening comprehension
Speaking Techniques
www.121ChineseLessons.com
Build up speed and Fluency
improve active listening, expressive speaking skills, and providing good
models for writing.
Extend language command
Reading Techniques

5 Steps of Writing Practice in L-MSL
Write down the words you understand in sequence
Leave those words you do not understand in blank
Make up those missing words by repeated listening
Verify and correct the words according to the transcript
Repeat above until you can complete the dictation

“Language learning lies not in expensive equipment, exotic methods,
sophisticated linguistic analyses, or new laboratories,
but in full utilisation of what we already have. Language acquisition occurs
when language is used for what it was designed for, communication.”
- Stephen Krashen
