Encounter
A story, scene, game, question or problem creates a need for language.
How we learn
Experience first. Then the words that help us understand it.
Students do not simply receive explanations to remember. They meet language, use it, observe what happens and build tools that help them recognise it again.
Notice
Students look for connections and form hypotheses. The teacher protects discovery without pretending there is no work beneath the wonder.
Internalise
Short questions become thinking tools: not because students failed to understand, but precisely because they did understand and we want to preserve that understanding, allowing our students (and teachers) to fully absorb it.
Use it for real
Theatre, conversation, movement and projects make communication necessary. Grammar returns to the world it came from.
Experience before explanation. Knowledge is born of interactions.
