Antoni Benedict from Italy. In my view English should
be taught (Modals + infinitive) at different levels, but not simplified.
And besides, by changing the language, we are depriving (Present
Continuous) the student of the real words. If the student is taught (Present
Simple) a simplified version of a language, how will he or she be
able to understand (Modals + infinitive) authentic texts like poems, slang
expressions, or lyrics? That is really no good for students!
Magda Szabo from Hungary. We call (Present Simple) our planet "a
global village" now which means (Present Simple) that everything is
gradually becoming (Present Continuous) one grey mass: our culture, our
eating habits and even the way we think. (Present Simple) I think this
means that we should keep (Modals + infinitive) everything that is
characteristic to us and our language in first place. We should guard (Modals
+ infinitive) our own mother tongue as a precious possession and use (Present
Simple) any second language just as a way to communicate with other global
citizens.
Hector Kadmos from Greece. No language is easy to learn because they all have
(Present Simple) their own history and culture! And no language can be
simplified (Modals + infinitive) just for the sake of easiness. By trying
to make it easier, we might deform (Modals + infinitive) it and then,
together with its complexity, much of its beauty would disappear! I think
(Present Simple) students should deal (Modals + infinitive) with the
real language and all its complexity and be exposed to real-life language used
by native speakers. This is the only way to teach learners how to manage in a
real conversation.
Lea Hoffman from Germany I know (Present Simple) that doing business in
English does not always require (Present Simple) very good usage
or even a complete understanding of the language. Why should we speak
(Modals + infinitive) the way native speakers do (Present Simple) when
we can already understand (Modals + infinitive) each other? It is
more important (Present Simple) to be able to communicative and
understand each other than it is to be grammatically correct. Sometimes
students are taught (Present Simple) old-fashioned phrases and
vocabulary with subtle meanings and this makes (Present Simple) it
difficult for all users of English to understand each other! Students should
be taught (Modals + infinitive) simpler English.
Peter Teller from the UK. I don't think (Present Simple) there is any
use in simplifying a language: if we over-simplify (Present Simple) the
language we teach (Present Simple), it will become (Future Simple)
useless for real communication. On the other hand, if the language is too
difficult to learn, not many people will be able to master (Modals +
infinitive) it. I believe (Present Simple) we should teach (Modals
+ infinitive) a foreign language in a manner close to how children start
(Present Simple) learning their mother tongue, and then gradually work (Present
Simple) towards the real-life language. We definitely should aim (Modals
+ infinitive) at reaching a "real" language level, otherwise there is
no sense in learning it at all.
