Deep dives
Using the target language as much as possible
When teaching a language, it is crucial to use the target language as much as possible. This provides the learner with more comprehensible input, helping them understand and acquire the language. Beginners may get tired easily, so it is advisable to have specific language days or set class times. The key is to ensure that the language used is comprehensible, speaking slowly, grading the language, and using aids like translation, drawing, or gestures to enhance understanding.
