arct-023

Teaching techniques vary regarding teaching language to individuals, particularly when it comes to the process of teaching second languages to students.

Instead of long lessons of memorization and drilling in a new language, communicative language teaching relies on the participation of the student in conversation with the instructor and other students as a means of making the new language relevant to the student and therefore easier to learn and recall.

What Is Mnemonics?

A cascading waterfall, flanked by flowers. If you have to memorize a list of long, complicated names that make no sense, you’re not alone. A lot of people have to do this. This is where mnemonics can help.

What are mnemonics? Basically, mnemonics are devices that help you remember otherwise disjointed facts that might not hang together in your noggin for easy memorization. One popular mnemonic that helps you remember a month’s number of days, for example, is, “30 days hath September, April June and November.  All the rest have 31, excepting February alone; which hath but 28 in fine, till leap year gives it 29.”
