Improving your English: Another Teacher's Ideas

Dave Kees is an ESL teacher in China. In this podcast (listening selection on the Internet), he talks about some ideas about learning English. He talks about research in language learning done by a linguist (a scientist who studies language) named Steven Krashen. He speaks slowly and uses simple language.

Listen to his speech. It's only 10 minutes long. What do you think about his ideas and the ideas of Steven Krashen for learning a language? Did you think that the speech was too easy or too difficult for you? What happened to Lisa? What does Dave Kees think about what happened to Lisa?
