    Deliberate Language Learning

    • Deliberate learning is efficient and effective, involving learner responsibility
    • Organized deliberate learning is crucial
    • Word cards are key for vocabulary control and revision, important to control this activity
    • Contextual vocabulary learning is important, use of meaning-focused input, and output, and fluency development
    • Bilingual word cards are effective, especially in early stages of learning
    • Concordancers, dictation, transcription, delayed copying, oral repetition, and intensive reading (Kindle) are also useful tools

    Multiword Phrases

    • Words form phrases with meanings connected to individual words, or not directly connected
    • Various phrase types exist (idioms, collocations, multiword units)
    • Understanding phrase meanings helps fluent language use
    • Techniques: analyzing parts' roles, looking at phrase form (alliteration, rhyme, repetition), and historical context.
    • Learning related words together can be unhelpful, and not effective in some cases
    • Learning similar words together can be harmful, it's best to learn them separately
    • Meaning connection is important for related words (frog, pond, green, slimy, hop, croak).

    Transcription

    • Transcription involves recreating spoken text in written form, repeating the text.
    • It is helpful to check the accuracy of transcriptions against the original

    Intensive Reading

    • Intensive reading focuses on language features in context
    • Extensive reading is done with the goal of gradually understanding parts of a text, helping with language features
    • Repetition, focusing on different aspects of the text in each repetition, is a helpful technique.

    Delayed Copying

    • Choose a text (200 words) and try to copy the first few words without looking, then longer sequences, without repeatedly referencing the text.

    Spelling Practice

    • Writing system is important to learn
    • Use a lined page, write the words, then fold page and guess the first letters, and write the words.

    Pronunciation Learning

    • Clear pronunciation is important for communication.
    • Effective methods: focusing on individual sounds, understanding the processes involved in creating sounds, practice with syllables and phrases.
    • Older learners may need more effort with pronunciation for native-like fluency.

    Grammar Learning

    • The four strands (input, output, deliberate learning, fluency) are important for grammar learning
    • Grammar learning involves listening, reading, speaking and writing, using the language to learn language.
    • Repetition of grammatical constructions is important

    Vocabulary Acquisition

    • The four learning strands (input, output, deliberate learning, fluency) apply to vocabulary, like grammar
    • Vocabulary learning is done by studying unknown words (word cards, dictionary), getting feedback on spoken and written production, learning strategies (context, word parts)
