A new technique in language teaching
Mark's receipt
today
of an invitation to Colorectal Congress 2007 reminded me that
I received a nice conference invitation myself recently, somewhat more
relevant than his. It turns out that a new approach to
second language learning has been developed, and if I could make it
over to Turkey, I could find out all about the new method way before it
takes the linguistic world by storm. Here's the invitation:
Dear David Beaver
Your presence shall only be a true honour to experience, may you think
yourself kindly invited to the program at the [hotel name redacted],
dated [date redacted],
by [name redacted],
the founder of [organization
name redacted], as to how to get into language usage
through its own parameters; a claim of a new technique in language
teaching.

Well, I for one would not dispute the claim of originality. So well does the method work that there is no need whatsoever to have your language proofread by a native speaker.
Unfortunately, the invitation was sent to the wrong address, and I only
received it some 6 months after the
conference had taken place, so I'll never know how to get into
language usage through its own parameters. Hrumph. Most unfair. No
chance at all for a weekend of Istanbul. But maybe the Colorectal
Congress still has some openings?
