LEARNING MAINTENANCE WORKPACK(Retained)

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1. Follow these instructions EXACTLY to achieve EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE learning. First, convince yourself that "Language is an Instinct" and you can do it in one week with: CPSA & C (Confidence, Practice, Speed, Accuracy and Concentration (focus))!

2. Use the workpack ONLY after completing the CRE. Then a week later, complete the course with another morning of a partner/computer active learning.

3. Study every part of the workpack carefully during ONLY one week. Repeat ALOUD everything you read. Make up a short phrase for every key word you learn ("hooks to learning"!). Convince yourself that you WILL understand EVERYTHING. Teach yourself well!

3. Mark the workpack! MARK the things you understand with a TICK! Mark the things that CONFUSE you with big QUESTION MARKS. Give them time to "COOK" in your non-conscious mind! Resolve them later COMPLETELY!

4. Make repeated efforts to complete the SPEED TEST - PART A in 15 minutes.

5. After two days, translate (with help if necessary) the SPEED TEST - PART B and make repeated efforts to achieve the 10 minute target for each of the three parts.

ICL - INTENSIVE CARE LANGUAGE - CONCEPTSDr. Bob Boland & Count Indrei Ratiu

In new language learning, so many people "start" a course but so few actually finish it completely! They get bored, distracted or discouraged. By contrast CRE provides such a short, efficient and effective course, that every learner always completes the full program.

The basic paradigm (concept) of CRE, is that language learning an "emotional" rather than a "rational" experience; it is a natural human function that is more non-conscious than conscious; it is a way of "caring" about people and "reaching out" to communicate; it is the very essence of good human relationships.

CRE seeks to show that everyone can communicate in a new language, if they are willing to use a new media; this involves giving up some if the mature personality and respect of the adult, to learn anew, almost as a child learns, because a new language is like another life ...

The mature learner needs is an intensive emotional experience which brings those quick rewards, which motivate the learner to continue and not give up. In language learning "success" is the key motivator to progress. Lack of success despite effort, is depressing and de-motivating. Thus the learner needs both "intensive" action and very personal emotional "care" to encourage and support his motivation. Such caring is critical!

By providing a learning experience for one hour a day (over two days) the learner can begin to train the "ear" to tune in to the music of the new language; and can begin to train the "throat" to make new sounds. The learner must seek language "excellence" not mere competence; the learner must begin to overcome the fear and embarrassment of being a child again (and sometimes even looking a little foolish) in the new language.

The main computer/partner based course of four hours, must be intensive to get through enough material to reward the learner with some competence very quickly. Only 200 new words and phrases is a very difficult task for one morning, but it can reward the learner with the ability to begin say some things with a "beautiful accent" and to ask questions with confidence.

The trained partner provides the "care" and the emotional support to continue and achieve what seems to be an impossible task in only four hours; emotionally it is very wearing. The learner cannot do it alone. Thus some computer assisted learning with wonderful graphics but no partner, are boring after only one hour and a four hour session is unthinkable! Under CRE the partner is there all the time to encourage the four hours of learning to be completed!

After the first course, one week of "learning maintenance" puts the computer program into text format (60pp) for individual review to "understand everything" over the week without formal teaching. The language is "absorbed" as the audio tape continues to be played as both conscious and non-conscious learning.

Finally the second four hour computer/partner based course is achieved in only about three hours, as clear feedback to the learner of progress made and as motivation for future learning, with any other language course or teacher or simply with everyone around the learner.

Thus the concept of CRE is for everyone to begin and finish the program with positive emotional reaction, either as "lift-off" in a new language or "accent improvement" in a language already learned but spoken with terrible accent, which like "halitosis" no-one dares to talk about!

With CRE basic confidence and a "beautiful accent" the learner can call upon everyone to help him/her to progress. Without such basics, help is difficult if not impossible.

Even a phrase book "comes to life" when the learner has basic language structures in the non-conscious mind.
