Reading Harry Potter
Tuesday 31st August 2021. For today's homework I had to watch a video. I ended up watching two. Why to do extensive reading (when you are ready) A book that changed my life. The book that changed Pablo's life is From the Outside In by Dr J Marvin Brown. Funnily enough, a book I was reading when I first started my course but had to stop because, the amount of homework meant, I did not have time. What I have read so far tells me language learning should be an immersive experience that happens to us. The author refers to babies and how they learn to speak (though he has not mentioned how they go on to read and write yet) I find this interesting because growing up I lived in a home where English was not the first language. Even though I was immersed in it, I did not learn very much. I understand words and a few simple sentences. I feel that if a more proactive language learning experience had taken place, I would have learned more....
