Dive Deeper, Personalize: A Study Guide to Achieving Native-Like Second Language Proficiency (Leaver)
The MSI Press study guide series is a set of documents/posts prepared by authors to help readers take a deeper dive into and personal look at various MSI books.
Today's study guide is meant to accompany Achieving Native-Like Second Language Proficiency by Betty Lou Leaver.
Book Description:
This book is the first in a planned series (speaking, reading, listening, and writing) that reports on a research project to discover what the critical factors are for reaching near-native levels of second language proficiency, based on in-depth interviews with individuals who have formally tested at those levels.
Keywords:
self-nurturing for women, Christian self-care, faith-based self-esteem, Bible study for healing, emotional healing for women, self-love through scripture, Christian personal growth, women's spiritual growth, Bible stories for confidence, identity in Christ, nurturing your soul
Study Guide Questions
1. Language learning, particularly at the upper levels of proficiency, can be counterintuitive. Of the research results, what did you find the most unexpected? Why?
2. Multilinguals, according to this research, learn each language in a different way. This seems counterintuitive. What explanations might you present for this?
3. If you are a language learning, what experiences have you had in common with the respondents to this survey? Where have your experiences deviated? What has caused the deviation--and is the deviation more important to your language development than the paths that others took?
4. What results from this study might you be able to use to improve your own language learning activities?
5. Develop a learning plan, based on your current activities, your goals, and the results from this study.
