Language Teaching

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or teaching:

“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

“The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
