What do we need to get a new approach to English language teaching and learning 

English from the Andean Highlands

A new relationship with English 

While mindfully learning English or any other language, define your start and end points: 
- What is your level now? 
- What is your aim? 
- What is the distance between starting and ending points? 
- How SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) is your goal? 

Measure your abilities:
- What can you do? 
- How long does it usually take for me to learn a foreign language? 
- How busy are you now? 

Make a plan. There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time. How about booking a 30 min trial class and discussing the plan with a teacher? This is the first tiny step on a long road to start. My name is Angelina, and I am the italki language tutor. Welcome to contact me if you need some help.

TASK 42 - FAKE NEWS AND THE INTERNET

Hay un experimento clásico que pone a un voluntario en el dilema de decidir qué hacer con un vagón que avanza descontrolado hacia cinco trabajadores que no pueden verlo. El voluntario observa la escena desde lo alto de un puente junto a otra persona. Si empuja a esta persona a las vías, morirá, pero detendrá el vagón y salvará cinco vidas. Cuando el experimento se realiza con personas que hablan dos idiomas y responden en su lengua materna, el veinte por ciento decide que sacrificar a una persona es aceptable para salvar a cinco. Cuando responden en su segundo idioma, la cifra sube al treinta y tres por ciento. El efecto se explica porque, cuando se habla una lengua extranjera, normalmente tomamos decisiones menos emocionales y más pragmáticas.
