language education

The World education system is not presently aimed at preparing comprehensively trained specialists. It is, instead, focusing on training in narrow fields. That kind of approach does not provide necessary conditions for one's brain development, even in one's chosen profession. In the foreign language acquisition process most of the time is devoted to learning grammar rules instead of living language usage and cultural sensitivity. As a result we have plenty of educated people competing with professional linguists in the amounts of learned grammar terms and structure who are incapable of properly expressing themselves verbally or even in writing. Nowhere in the world is the "general feeling for the language" being purposefully taught exept when learning one's mother tongue. Furthermore, learning any subject, including foreign languages, is usually based solely on visual and listening memory. Neither speech organs nor tactil finger memory are involved in the learning process despite evidence that embedding the learning experience in the nerve endings of the mouth (verbal learning) and fingertips (tactil learning) greatly improves the ability of most people to assimilate new knowledge.
