The teacher trainer/coach told me,
'My students make guesses about the meaning of a new word they see on the whiteboard.
This is a good strategy, though unsconscious usually.
As well they make theories about how to say a word they haven't learnt so far, but they need to express it.
This is agood strategy also.
They try and invent words, from the Spanish real words.
This is good.
This is effort.
This is interest.
This is the pathway to success.
These kids are 10, 11, 12, 13 years old.
They are starting to feel the texture of English. I'm satisfied, in bulk terms.'
