Coachnotes -- helping you help others learn another language
ICCT Coachnotes are short practical articles
that address a variety of language- and culture-learning issues.
Written especially for the needs of on-field coaches, these articles
can broaden your understanding of the process of adult second
language acquisition as well as suggest practical steps you can
take to help your learners to be more successful in their language
and culture learning.
You may download these Coachnotes (pdf format) to your computer
and make photocopies to use for educational purposes.
