Why EnglishCentral?
“I think about ninety percent of the problem in teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to help the students get interested.”
Noam Chomsky
Stephen Krashen
“The best methods are therefore those that supply ‘comprehensible input’ in low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to hear.”
“Learning from context is so important that some studies suggest that first language learners learn most of their vocabulary in this way.”
