But the truth is that no-one can say given the variety of the
human minds upon which it will play within what timescale, or
with what degree of success, the pursuit of this or that, single- or
multimedia approach, will deliver its results.
Just as no-one within the homeopathic medicine store deep down
expects all people who buy its products to be cured; and in this
case even the customers may recognize that within the store are
many things which are just there because they are plausible as
medicines (the leaf of this or that flower, for example) and which
in reality may not for whatever reason work for themthe
charitable view being that they would maybe work for other
people...
And the curious thing is that the results actually obtained are
never really scrutinized; nor are essential questions re the relative
efficacy of various possible approaches generally broached.
Language learning thus just stumbles on from class to class, from
semester to semester, with no essential questions asked; and
above all and sadly, apparently no new and corrective strategies
adopted. I guess, because they might be risky, experimental and
wrong.
People are thus left generally doing things which traditionally are
alleged to have worked for others, with no assurance that the
process will work for them; and with the added subtext that if it
does not, they may have only themselves to blame, as a result of
laziness, lack of intelligence or lack of application.
