Last week in Lesson 3 we began to examine the Natural Approach and it's tenets. Then came the translation of the natural approach to the natural order of learning, easy to apply to learning a new language AND also relevant to corporate applications where new technical or business information follows a natural order. This natural order implies that when introducing new content, start with information that is relevant and pertinent to the student first.
Lesson 4 takes the next step: examining the connections between Accelerative Learning and the Natural Approach. If the Natural Approach deals with acquisition of content vs learning about the content, how does this translate to Accelerative Learning? How does it show up in the self study lessons thus far? What are practical examples that you can share from your ICAL workshop experiences? Add your perspectives in the comments and check out what your colleagues have to say . . .
