Effective Language Learning Strategies and Techniques

Saturday, June 22nd, 2002, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Dave Ragan

The presenter believes that every language learner needs a portable recorder to collect and review her target language. Come to this workshop to find out why and how.
We will learn about the STARS vocabulary study system, the review cycle, and flashing all using the old fashion vocabulary cards. The presenter will introduce very basic mind mapping and some other useful techniques and skills. Prticipants are requested to bring a portable recorder such as a cassette recorder or MD recorder or one of the newer IC chip recorders. These relatively cheap devices can greatly enhance your language learning if used correctly.
