| Synopsis: |
Everyone has heard things about language and language learning that sound good and true but are not. An example would be that you can't learn a second language as an adult. This is a myth. "How Myths about Language Affect Education: What Every Teacher Should Know" clarifies some of the most common misconceptions about language, particularly those that affect teachers and the decisions they make when they teach English language learners."How Myths about Language Affect Education" is not intended to be a complete introduction to linguistics; it does not contain information on phonetics or complex syntactic explanations, and technical jargon is kept to a minimum. It debunks common language myths for teachers. |
