The Golden Rules of Second Language Acquisition by Young Children.
Gaarder, Bruce
NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v2 n2 p59-60 Mar 1978
Two golden rules for teachers of young children are (1) work, speak, and act with complete naturalness, and (2) never try to teach language per se; rather, teach life (joy, sorrow, work, play, differentiation, self-awareness, etc.) by involving the children in situations and activities that are highly significant to them.
