In this video, I discuss the importance of reading as a powerful tool for language learning, drawing on Stephen Krashen’s research on polyglots. I highlight the value of input and pleasure reading, which are essential for effective language acquisition and long-term growth.
I also address a common issue in teaching—selecting texts that may not be the right fit in terms of difficulty or engagement. I encourage you to reflect on how we can better integrate enjoyable, level-appropriate reading into our classrooms and learning strategies.
