As a teacher, did you ever wonder why learning a new language is so difficult? Here is a better way. Immerse yourself in the Deep Approach to world languages and cultures: -Self-motivation is the best incentive for deep language learning, -Provide themes, templates and incentives for self-directed learning and projects, -Empower the student to build the curriculum, by scaffolding possibilities and making instruction flexible, -Emphasize the learning process rather than pre-determined outcomes, -Encourage individualized, peer- and project learning by focusing on cultural contents and social action, -Consider grammar as story-telling about language, and -Use formative evaluation of integrated skills. Focus on value creation: the respect of cultures, be sensitive to language status and discrimination, avoid a colonial mindset and teach for social justice, linguistic human rights and peace building."
