Technology
All
SpeaKESL technology was created with the "Language Acquisition
Theory" in mind. This theory, developed by Dr. Krashen, is based on
these simple principles:
"Short of total immersion, free reading
is the most powerful means of developing academic language”
“ Anxiety must be low and self-confidence high”
“ Engaged students learn more…” |
