Conditions for Second Language
Professor Spolsky explores the requirements for a general theory of second
language learning, and considers the relevance of such a theory for language
teaching.
Colin Rose developed many of the Accelerated Learning techniques and pioneered how to apply the method for students, teachers and language learners.
However the method is certainly not the work of just one person. Dozens of universities, research psychologists and professional educators have contributed to produce this unique way of learning and presenting new information.
The techniques, for example, incorporate the work of Dr Howard Gardner of Harvard University on Multiple Intelligences, of Arthur Costa from UCLA and others on learning styles and of Nobel prize winners Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein on the brain.
