The Natural Learning Environment

4. A Guided Experience

  • 4.1. A Confident Climate
  • 4.2. Socratic Maieutics
  • 4.3. Error Management
  • 4.4 Verifiable, Immediate, Tangible Progress
    Thanks to this highly motivating system, learners know exactly what kind of progress they are making. They realize they can finally express their thoughts in real time as they could not have done previously, with any finesse. They also realize that the fog that seemed to becloud their comprehension has lifted completely and that to correct is to understand. But the correction is only eased after having assimilated and determined structure and vocabulary, after having made the language ones own.
