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.
