Individualized approaches to language teaching are based on these
assumptions:
1 people learn in different ways
2 they can learn from a variety of different sources
3 learners have different goals and objectives in language learning
4 direct teaching by a teacher is not always essential for learning.
Individualization includes such things as one-to-one teaching, home study,
self-access facilities, self-directed learning and the development of learner
autonomy, since they all focus on the learner as an individual.Indo-European languagesn
languages which are related and which are supposed to have had a common
ancestor language, called “Proto Indo-European”. Languages in this
group include most European languages, e.g. English, French, German, and
the Celtic and Slavonic languages. They also include the ancient Indian
languages Sanskrit and Pali and such languages as Hindi, Urdu, Bengali,
Sinhala, and Farsi.
induced errorn
also transfer of training
(in language learning) an error which has been caused by the way in which
a language item has been presented or practised.
For example, in teaching atthe teacher may hold up a box and say I’m
looking at the box.However, the learner may infer that atmeans under.
If later the learner uses atfor under(thus producing *The cat is at the table
instead of The cat is under the table) this would be an induced error.
