Panel 14:
Encourage growing independence and independent language use on the part of learners, moving them toward increased expression of individual ideas and opinions.
There is an image of a child in a cardboard TV set talking about himself, presumably in L2.
Again, this kind of output is not just unreasonable to expect – it is outrageous to think that output can be done in this way this early. Many teachers have kids memorize stuff and then when the kid spits out the memorized garbage – that’s all it is – they call that speaking and output. But if the kid were asked to actually engage in conversation, they couldn’t, because of the lack of meaningful CI, and hence a working neurological L2 base, over their years in the classroom. Panel 14 definitely is something I cannot agree can actually happen in the real world of foreign language instruction.
