Book Description

Learning without teaching - a journey to the land of native fluency

The human brain is a magnificent self-learning machine, competent at rule-building and pattern-recognition. What we generally refer to as 'teaching' - an instructor conveying knowledge to a student and then testing the amount of information absorbed - is in fact an illusion. We are fooled into thinking that schools can 'teach' us anything, because in the midst of all the wasted instruction, they also provide some necessary exposure, which the brain utilizes for learning. But all learning is in fact internal, beginning and ending inside the brain, and can be achieved more effectively without any teaching whatsoever.Beyond the illusion of teaching

We all acquire our native languages without fail and without any proper teaching - by exposure, observation and imitation. Understanding this process provides valuable insight into the brain's method of learning, and reveals how we can achieve effective learning without teaching.A first-hand account of the legendary Uscolian studios
