Principle 2 Listening precedes speaking
speaking should not be forced.  Children must go through natural 
way of learning the target language: first they listen and internalize 
the language. As they internalize a cognitive map of the target lan-
guage through understanding what is heard, there will be a readiness 
to speak. The children will start spontaneously produce utterances.
The transactions from listening to speaking will have several 
steps of development. First the child will listen and respond exclu-
sively with physical actions and later with simple one-word utter-
ances such as “yes” or “no”. After these steps of cognitive brain 
work readiness to speak will arise.
