Hollywood - A Different World

By Gert Smith


Have you ever wondered how it really is achievable that you could speak your native language so conveniently? Once you choose to express anything, appropriate phrases and sentences just come to you. Nearly all of this course of action is unconscious.

Stephen Krashen, a professor at the University of Southern California and a linguistics expert, has developed a hypothesis to explain how this is possible. He used his Input Hypothesis to design what he calls a "natural approach" to learning a language.

Krashen utilizes "input" in this context to describe the words and sentences which you read and listen to. In the event you recognize these sentences, they can be stored in your brain. Far more especially, they're stored in the part of one's brain that is accountable for language.

Krashen makes use of his hypothesis to explain how a youngster learns his or her native language. The youngster listens to their parents along with other people today. Because the child's brain collects these words and sentences, she or he gets superior and greater at generating sentences on their personal. By age 5, the child can currently speak quite fluently.

In accordance with Krashen's theory, the method to study and increase is always to feed your brain having a large amount of input - correct and understandable sentences, written or spoken.

Some cognitive scientists say that watching movies is one of the most natural methods of improving your language skills at any age. Learning English by watching movies is an example of "learning by input."

ReadEnt Reading Motion pictures from SFK Media Specially For Children Corp. apply this organic system of mastering with an revolutionary tool named "Action Captions." As a kid or adult watches the film, every spoken word seems around the screen as text directly from the person's mouth as it is spoken.

"From the point of view of children and adults learning to read English fluently, especially if it's not their native language, these movies feed the brain with a lot of input," said Len Anthony Smith, chief executive officer of SFK Media. "They learn how to say these words and sentences naturally and, therefore, improve their pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and comprehension quickly and easily."

ReadEnt's Reading Films are obtainable as interactive DVD applications for use on the Television, computer system, video-game console or portable DVD player. They include such classics as "20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea," "Tales of Gulliver's Travels" and "The Trojan Horse." Additionally they come with interactive quizzes and games to generate the finding out experience a lot more enjoyable for kids from kindergarten through eighth grade.
