  6. Our Philosophy “I think about ninety percent of the problem in teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to help the studentsget interested.” Noam Chomsky “The best methods are therefore those that supply ‘comprehensible input’ in low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to hear.” Stephen Krashen “Learning from context is so important that some studies suggest that first language learners learn most of their vocabulary in this way.” Paul Nation
