This was basically proven decades ago, but it's still rare to find language teachers who follow Krashen's advice. What a shame.
Here's some ideas I came up with to give myself a curriculum based on this concept:
- Instruct tutors to use "MovieTalk" method - http://glesismore.com/movietalk/preview.html
- Study with FilipinoPod dialog recordings - no visuals here, but at least I get real input tuned to my current language level
- Study Filipino commercials with Filipino subtitles in the same way - this works for me at intermediate level
- Study Youtube videos of Filipino children's songs, the ones with Filipino subtitles and animations of what's happening in the lyrics
Let's see how this works out...
