LIFT-OFF/ACCENT IMPROVEMENT LANGUAGE - A MORNING WITH DR. BOLAND

COMPUTER-BASED JAPANESE/MANDARIN/KHMERBROCHURE

Geneva, April 1994

1. THE PROGRAM

a. Each program is a four hour computer-based learning experience with a partner (a natural language speaker), designed for managers with severe time constraints. It uses new learning theories to achieve rapid conscious and non-conscious learning.

b. The LEARNING is achieved by "absorbing" the language and speaking continuously with the partner in a special learning environment.

c. The PARTNER continually encourages us to achieve excellent pronunciation, but does NOT teach nor critique the program. The PARTNER is a "learning aid" to inspire changes in our KSA - knowledge, skills and (above all) attitudes, towards "absorbing" the language.

d. The technical structures in the final version of each program are verified by recognized university-based language specialists.

2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

The specific learning objectives of the morning are:

a. To begin to decode the music of the language with improved listening, speaking, understanding and confidence.

b. To practice using about 200 words/phrase in the language with an EXCELLENT accent.

c. To develop personal confidence in whispering, speaking, singing, imitating and even shouting in the language.

d. To motivate further study in the future.

3. WHY BOTHER?

You speak English. You do business with an foreign speaker, who speaks perfect English. He "seems" to understand everything you say in English ... so why bother with lift-off" or "accent improvement" in his/her language?

a. LIFT-OFF (getting into a new language rapidly) - you make the effort to learn some of a new language, so that he/she feels "more comfortable" with you as a person ...

b. ACCENT IMPROVEMENT (speaking the language) - you recognize that a "bad accent" can be EXHAUSTING for the listener ... and like "halitosis" ... he/she can NEVER tell you ...

... so why not take just a morning ... to improve the quality of your communication ... and feel "more comfortable" ... with yourself ...?

4. A NEW WAY OF LEARNING

We must take a little time to prepare our minds to learn in a new way; thus we must:

a. Recognize - that most of what we do in life, we do without special awareness, almost non-consciously rather than consciously, while responding to our environment which communicates with us all the tim e.g. driving the car.

b. Recognize - that our non-conscious mind is very powerful, it has an almost unlimited capacity to learn. And it can learn much faster than our conscious mind, if we can make the emotional investment to allow the learning process to operate freely and not be blocked.

c. Convince - our non-conscious mind, that we really a must and can, understand, use and remember, everything in this short learning process; and for this we must get emotionally invested!

d. Develop - the confidence to relax and let our powerful non-conscious mind guide us through a very rewarding, and yet highly emotional, learning experience, just for the morning, with a partner, together.

README FIRSTINTENSIVE CARE - LANGUAGE

LIFT-OFF/ACCENT IMPROVEMENT LANGUAGE PROGRAMS A MORNING WITH DR. BOLAND AND FRIENDS

1. CONCEPTS

The programs are based on new theories of conscious and non-conscious learning, and the basic assumption that:

"Language is an instinct ... language is a caring ... and reaching out ..."

2. PRINTING THE TEXT

To print out the text of the program, find the file marked "SUM" print it out with directly with WP51 (Times Scalable 12 pt) on a Laser Printer III, or convert to ASCII and print.

3. LEARNING

To use the program FOUR "learning aids" are essential for efficient and effective learning during the morning:

a. A partner - to provide positive encouragement for fluent pronunciation.

b. An audio tape or radio news program - to provide continuous conscious and non-conscious language impact. A cassette can be obtained from RGAB without charge.

c. The printed text (above).

d. A phrase/simple text book - to provide learning support. We recommend the "Language in a Week" series published in many languages by Hodder and Stoughton, in the UK; they come with an audio tape that provides item 2 (above). For "Learning Maintenance" print-out the program as explained below.

4. RUNNING THE PROGRAM

a. Do NOT use Windows or Word or Excel or Wordperfect or any similar system. Simply, insert the diskette into an IBM compatible computer drive A or B. Copy it to a directory of its own on your computer.

b. PLAY INFORMALLY, THE AUDIO TAPE (THREE TIMES) TO "ABSORB THE MUSIC" OF THE LANGUAGE, AND START TO REPEAT SOUNDS AND WORDS. ThEN DO THE MORNING ROUTINE WITH A PARTNER. THEN DO LEARNING MAINTENANCE INFORMALLY (TEXT AND CASSETTE) FOR A WEEK. THEN REPEAT THE MORNING ROUTINE WITH THE PARTNER.

76

README FIRSTINTENSIVE CARE - LANGUAGE

LIFT-OFF/ACCENT IMPROVEMENT LANGUAGE PROGRAMS A MORNING WITH DR. BOLAND AND FRIENDS

c. If possible, do the morning routine (four hours) in one morning; otherwise do two sessions of two hours each. Do the Learning Maintenance" in any way you like with the printed text and the audio tape. Then a week later ... relax ... repeat the morning ... make it fun .. and ... surprise yourself ...

d. When running the program on computer, type any of the following:

Flash - for the morning routine - first two hours. Flash2 - for the morning routine - second two hours. Quiz - to try a multiple choice quiz

Glossary - to start a glossary exercise Grammar - to start a grammar exercise

NOTE: THE PROGRAM WORKS MUCH FASTER ... WHEN YOU COPY IT TO YOUR HARD DISK ... IN A SPECIAL DIRECTORY

5. COST

For private learners, the program is free, but you really feel especially "rewarded" by the program, please ... register (by fax to RGAB below to obtain the latest updated version of the program) and send $100.00 to an educational trust:

Timothy Trust Ernst & Young Trust Company POB 621 Le Gallais Chambers 54 Bath Street St. Helier, Jersey JE4 8YD Channel Islands, UK.

Programs currently available (March 1995) include: English, French, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Mandarin, Japanese, Khmer, Finnish, Hungarian, Zulu, Xhosa, Arabic, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Urdu, Turkish etc. Several other language versions are in process and each program is being continually improved and updated.

For special clients, a full set of all the languages is available, and a new program in a particular language or dialect, can usually be produced to order, in about one week of intensive supported effort.
