Who Wouldn't Want to Use the Natural Approach?

Goldin, Mark G.

Modern Language Journal, 61, 7, 337-9, Nov 77

This paper comments on an article by Tracy Terrell in this journal. Terrell is praised for his contribution to the debate over teaching communication versus structure in second languages. It is pointed out, however, that study and analysis of language structures requires understanding and memorization essential to cognitive development. (CHK)
