BOL 450

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE LEARNER

The BOL 450 material is a very complex group learning instrument which has been designed and redesigned over and over to appear to be a simple but standardised multi-language learning system, using English as a common international language base.

The key feature of the system is that it must be rapidly learnable ... and yet be as “correct” as possible. But what is correct in language? Can the full cultural meaning of any important sentence ever be exactly translated into another language without a compromise?

Every “natural speaker” of a language tends to feel that he “knows what is correct and normal” in the language, but others naturally do not agree! The “natural speaker” normally fails completely to really identify with the learner or to understand the learner’s extreme difficulties before he reaches the “threshold of the language”, i.e. the ability to use the new language itself to ask questions about it.

In over 200 pages of BOL 450 materials some inevitable language differences of opinion or. “errors” must exist! They cannot simply be corrected like a dictionary ... or-the resulting “correct language” may be far too complex for the learner to grasp and he may give up before he reaches the threshold. Thus, error correction is a slow, difficult and subtle process which balances “correct language” at any stage with “learner difficulties” ...

Generally you will find that the BOL 450 language style tends to be rather “formal” and “English”. However, it should be simple and rapidly understandable, so that a more intimate and complex style can come from personal experience after initial language confidence has been achieved.

In your learning therefore, with the BOL 450 system, please, please try not to allow your learning to be blocked at any stage by worrying excessively about “errors” in word selection, grammatical form or accent ... ours or yours ... recognise them ... deal with them in group discussion ... and concentrate on your main objective ... personal language confidence for practical and effective communication.

BOL 450 – INDIVIDUAL COURSE DIARY

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING IDEAS

1. Recognise that effective communication is only 20% verbal (the actual words used) and about 80% non-verbal (tone, expression, speed, eyes, hands, body, environment etc.) Use your body to communicate.

2. You have to speak to learn a language ... open wide, speak loud and clear and use your hands. Don’t worry about mistakes until Saturday!

3. Play radio or TV words (not music) in the room ALL THE TIME to train your ears to listen to the “music” of the new language.

4. Read all notices aloud ... speak to people ... visit many shops ... ask silly questions ... ask directions continually even when you know the way ... ask the price of things ... discuss with waiters, shopkeepers, doormen, receptionists, other guests the weather, prices, directions, learning the language, etc. ... ask several people the same question until you understand.

5. Try to argue.

6. Get a paper every day to read the news. Do not read your own newspapers or listen to the radio in your own language ... create the personal need to understand the new language ... listen to all news broadcasts.

7. Repeat all phrases you hear and recognise, over and over again.

8. Read the newspaper to someone else.

9. Buy books and magazines that interest you ... try joke books. Go to see a film twice.

10. Try to sing local songs ... write out the words.

11. Do mood music relaxation with TV and radio regularly.

12. Use the telephone to get information.

13. Use flip charts for problems ... graffitti!

14. Revise the learning units at night – aloud.

15. Repeat all words and phrases until they come without effort.

16. Overall, just for one week, refuse to speak your own language except those words that you “put in” to keep up a conversation in the new language ... use a language “mix”.

17. Help other learners and thereby help yourself to achieve success by reaching the threshold of the language.

a. The subjunctive present is formed from the present stem of the verb with the addition of the personal endings (i.e. am, ad, dm, id, and) and the prefix “be”.

didan = to see present stem = “bin”man ...... bebinam )shomā bebinid ) I may see, etc.u bebinad )an beginadma bebinam )shoma bebinid ) We may see, etc.anha bebinand )

b. Subjunctive used after “bāyad” = ought, must e.g. man bāyad bebinam – I must see

c. After “shayad” = perhaps in the future e.g. shayad bebinam – perhaps I shall see

d. After “tavānestan” = can, to be able e.g. mitavāham bebinam – I can see

e. After “xāstan” = to want e.g. mixāham bebinam – I want to see
