Jeremy Harmer - The enigma of language and how to teach it.

In this webinar author Jeremy Harmer talks about the enigma of language and how to teach it. If all children learn their first (or home language) with relative ease - and often more than one - how come it is difficult for some second language users to do the same? Is it something to do with how we are taught, the way we learn, how our brains are wired or how we are motivated? It is of course a mixture of all these and more, but how should writers of teaching and learning materials address this? This talk discusses how that is done and how it works, using practical examples from our coursebook for adults and young adults: American Jetstream.
