The next are extracts from an article I learn this morning and my feedback.
The article, written by Joe Fernandez is well-written and well-researched. Sadly, what’s written relies on
‘analysis’ that researchers copy from each other. My work relies on speaking
to consultants on studying – my college students who couldn’t learn after they got here to me for
one-on-one tuition.
Listed below are
extracts and my feedback:
Creator:
If many individuals stay cursed by damaged English, it’s as a result of
they’re slowed down and/or suffering from the sounds of the English.
My remark:
I’ve learn
many articles by the creator and he writes wonderful English. The query we
must ask is, why he and plenty of like him are usually not suffering from the sounds of the
English.
Creator:
English, which has no type of writing, has 42 sounds however
makes do with the 26 letters within the Roman letters.
Many college students in Malaysia can’t learn. They’ve difficulties
in placing collectively letters for forming sounds.
My remark:
Why do
Malaysian college students have issue placing collectively letters for forming sounds
in English however not in placing collectively letters for
forming sounds in Malay and Hanyu Pinyin. I’ve defined this in my e book ‘Shut Down Youngsters’. I’d be comfortable to share this info with the creator over a
cuppa.
Creator:
Work on coaching the ears on listening expertise.
We had components in the course of the British days.
Catch the information on the radio (no TV) for ten minutes every day.
Make it a lifelong behavior.
My remark:
True. However
this isn’t going to assist youngsters to study to learn. Sure, they might converse higher
however how does it assist one to learn? This can be a query I’ve requested many ‘educators’
on LinkedIn and Twitter and haven’t obtained a response.
Creator:
There could be reforms i.e. casting off memorisation and
rote studying, amongst others, for proof of true training.
My remark:
Rote
memorisation has its place in studying to learn. Westerners have influenced the
world into believing rote memorisation is ‘evil’. Most educators don’t have any
concept what rote memorisation is and the way necessary it’s in studying to learn.
This is without doubt one of the the reason why many clever youngsters can’t learn in English.
Youngsters
don’t must rote memorise something in Malay or Hanyu Pinyin aside from the
names of the letters.
Creator:
The federal government, earlier than public examinations, ought to
deal with the fact that many college students in Malaysia can’t learn, write, or
rely.
Educating studying stays the toughest factor on the planet.
My remark:
The creator
has strayed into an space that he’s not acquainted with. He has simply ‘copy-pasted’
what the Western world has been propagating for many years.
Why is
studying the toughest factor on the planet?
Get me a
little one who is aware of his alphabet and I’ll get him to learn in Malay and Pinyin
inside a month of an hour studying day.
I train youngsters
to learn in English inside 4 months of two hours per week. Dad and mom in lots of elements of the world use my e book ‘Train Your Baby to Learn‘ to get their kids to learn with 4 months. Get a replica from me at solely RM30 together with postage.
Even dyslexia and autism kids could be taught studying
inside an affordable length.
My remark:
I do know zilch
about autism however what the creator has written about dyslexia is what he has been
misinformed/disinformed.
