The truthfulness of the idiom "practice makes perfect!" What's your take on that?
http://ideas.time.com/2012/01/25/the-myth-of-practice-makes-perfect/
I wish to contribute an article, wherein some fairly good ideas, regarding the role of the practice in a skill acquisition, are touched upon. Since this matter is relevant to my persona of an educator, so I ventured to to get the gist of it & if this subject pleases you, let me know if you agree with the way I phrased my key points or if you can add one or two of your own:you're most welcome!
1 An effective practice only can ensure success.
2 Focusing on one's weeknesses is the way of "doing it right.", which has scientific grounds behind it.
3 Deliberate practice is not intrinsically gratifying.
4 Flaws are usually overlooked or disregarded , since we like to feel good about ourselves.
5 Deliberate error handling is a particular skill , which needs mastering.
6 When you reach the peak of your ability, the deliberate training can help to
turn the corner
Thanks

When it rains, it pours!
I wonder if you tell me about the weather in your area and if you're a firm believer in a global warming? Is there any firm research behind the notion of all us getting under water in the years to come? What're the odds of that happening soon? This subject matter worries me a little, since I've noticed that we tend to rain rainier & damper each year. The place I live in, the South of Urals Moutains in the steppe region never used to have some much precipitation. The situation is equivocal in my opinion. Do I need to get a boat to get us all saved here or should it be an arch, I really don't know. My mother worries a lot over her cabbages & potatoes in the garden we keep. I tell her " Let it all rot!", which of course gets her. Well, i don't have more to say, so let the voice of the people be heard.
Your humble servant.

V" Speech, taken from the V for Vendetta. I was quite impressed by his speech! Tell me if you like t
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V

On lesson planning!
Do you plan your lessons? Which lessons are better planned or off the cuff? Can't planning be compared with too much speculation, which gets you nowhere? I'm often puzzled over this issue. So, I'm looking for the balance of whether too much planning or simply the absence of it can more benefits to my students or other language learners.
Feel free to express your ideas, you're most welcome. Good luck.

Have you ever taught multi-level language classes?
I'm sometimes asked if I'm good at teaching students of different levels in the same class. This question is a sort of a stumbling block, since I'm not sure how to respond. The task seems to me somewhat scary&challenging or doomed to fail; the results of this, to my mind, can be mixed. What activities can be good or bad- I have no idea. The one thing that may definitely work here is a roleplay, but it's ridiculous to have it all the time & on every lesson. Does anyone of you teachers have suceess stories, which may shed some light on this?
Thank you.

Mon premier voyage sans d'argent!
Bonjour!
La semaine derniere le Samedi, je faisais un voyage à Samara, c'est une ville, qui se trouve en Russie, située au bord de la Volga; L'affaire trés agréable car c'est proche le chemin de treize heures seulement. J'ai travaillé pendant la journée et donc, J'y me suis arrivé à partir manquant des préparations propres- avec mon sac-à-dos et la carte bancaire et la réservation confirmée pour deux jours; mais, au fait, sans cent roubles cash- j'ai l'oublié à tirer parce que j'avais peur d'etre en retard. J'etait un peu stressé pendant mon temps en train et j'ai me mis aussi en doute si je pourrais revenir à la mémoire les chiffres de la carte. Quand je suis arrivé, je me suis débrouillé en cherchant la banque d'État et prenant la somme désiré!
Merci!

A careless wife ( russian folktale)
Once upon a time there were husband and wife. Wife was a lazy and careless woman. Moreover, she was the biggest sweet tooth: she had eaten everything. She wasted all money on nuts and gingerbread. At least, she was left without everything, except shirt to such an exten torn.
- Go, honey, to the market and buy a shirt for me on the celebration. - Said the woman to her husband.
Husband had gone to the fair and had seen the selling of geese and bought it, instead of shirt.
When he came back home, his wife was asking if he bought a shirt for her.
- Bought, but only goose. - said man.
But woman didn't hear his words exactly and replied: - Doesn't matter if it's tight, I will wear it. She took off her old shirt and threw away to furnace. And after asked: - Where is it? Give it to me.
- But I said that bough a goose, not a shirt!
Such way woman had left without any shirt, just naked.
