Trauma, triage, and treatment in the ESL grammar class
It may seem a bit melodramatic to say so, but hospital emergency rooms and ESL grammar classes are alike in that both are engaged in triage -the process of applying immediate and expedient treatment to alleviate trauma.Obviously, the analogy can only be pushed so far, for one would hope that the pain afflicted in a grammar class is mild in comparison with the anguish most patients experience in a trauma center.Nevertheless, they call for the same…

A Critical Review of the Critical Period Research
Two decades of international research in applied linguistics provides a large number and variety of topics from which to choose for this special anniversary edition, but certainly one of the most significant among these choices is the critical period hypothesis (CPH). Few topics in applied linguistics have continued to captivate the interests of researchers and practitioners so intensively and for such a long period of time as the CPH. Indeed, on…

They have focused in particular on the role of the right hemisphere (RH), a relatively new interest in neurolin…
Psycholinguistics
Suggestology and Outlines of Suggestopedy
The Effect of Affect on Foreign Language Learning
Although studies of the relationship between affective factors and language learning proficiency abound in the literature, the evidence to support such a relationship is difficult to interpret. Much of the problem resides in the fact that a wide range of variables are lumped together under the rubric “affect.” An attempt is made to ameliorate this situation by defining affective variables in terms of traditional psychological theory and classifyi…
