Knowing
a language means understanding it and using it in a variety of situations.
This is why it is so important to introduce students to a current
usage of the language so that they can then understand the most important
precepts of the language through having observed it in action.
In fact,
obtaining linguistic competence - being able to: understand, speak,
read and write - begins with an understanding of the syntax, followed
by a more thorough study of the grammatical rules and structures.
Particular
attention is given to the latest ideas about grammar, the socio-linguistic
environment and the most recent developments within the language.
The use of authentic material and activities
which fully involve the students makes this method particularly effective
and guarantees rapid learning.
