    Dispelling Myths
    1. In language teaching, we must practice and
    practice again and again.
    2. Language learning is mainly a matter of imitation.
    3. First, we practice the separate words, then
    sounds, then sentences.
    4. Watch a small child’s speech development.
    5. A small child listens and speaks and no one would
    dream of making him read or write.
    6. You did not have to translate when you were
    small.
    7. A small child simply uses language.
