>fucks sake, traditional stuff isn't working!!!
>*after a lot of research* understanding messages is what works, we'll call it comprehensible input
>Based! ok, now what else works?
>*after a lot of research* hmmm nothing else seems to help...
>hmm ok that's weird...how about this: does anything actually make you worse?
>*after a lot of research* it turns out basically doing anything other than CI is actually harmful
It's not even that contentious or unbelievable. It's what it is. It makes a lot of sense. It turns out we do in fact learn like babies learn, but as adults we try to add in all of this extra shit that hinders us and so it makes it seem as there's a critical period™. It turns out there isn't one. Little kids just don't do anything to fuck up the acquisition like adults seem to do compulsively and are even encouraged to do via teachers and books. ALG solves all of it.
