English Fever

　　English Fever = an overwhelming desire to learn English (and make sure your children learn English).

　　The obvious importance of English in today's world has given rise to English Fever. I propose here a cure that does not threaten the first language, that is available to all students regardless of family income, that does not require full "immersion" or the extensive use of native speakers, and that leads to continuing growth in English after the program ends.

　　Dr. Stephen Krashen, currently Professor Emeritus of Education at the University of Southern California, is best known for his work in establishing a general theory of second language acquisition. He is co-founder of the Natural Approach and the inventor of sheltered subject matter teaching. His most recent publications include Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use: The Taipei Lectures by Crane Publishing Co. Ltd. (Taiwan) and Heinemann (USA), and The Power of Reading (Heinemann and Libraries Unlimited, 2004). Dr. Krashen holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and was the 1978 Incline Bench Press Champion of Venice Beach, California.
