The history of foreign language education has proven that foreign languages cannot be acquired through rule studying, reading, writing, memorizing, listening, watching, and/or conversation. Few of us know that conversation is possible only after he/she acquires the required skills.
There is one and only method for one to be good at playing the piano. We know what it is. Likewise, there is one and only method for one to be good at speaking a foreign language. Yet, many of us, especially the leaders of foreign language education, still don’t recognize it.
This book provides very simple solutions to the questions from many frustrated teachers and students about foreign language education: ‘Why not?’, ‘What if?’, ‘So what?’, ‘How about?’, ‘What?’, and ‘How?’ Readers will learn about the one and only assuring method to be fluent in their target languages.
