Hi Rasha
Do not pull your hair out, there is no need. You do not have to memorize what people say, for example Chomsky defined Universal Grammar as: "A system of structured knowledge of language, that is innate". What you have to do is understand the meaning of system, structured, and innate and relate those to each other. That is just an example of course, because there are harder things in the book, but you get the way i hope.
thank you Dr very .................much
but do you mean that i should understand the idea and then i will rewrite it in my style As I told you in the final lecture, you are not going to have spaces, or definitions, so that eliminates memorization, if you have something in the book that lists something, you also do not have to memorize, just try studying in a different way, like write a paragraph or something. Here is an example:
The Grammar Translation School has some characteristics like:
- It is based on Latin
- It is very strict
- They use translation for teaching
-There is no focus on communication
-No attention is paid to pronunciation
So if you find that hard to remember those, try to write them in a different way like:
Since the Grammar Translation School is based on Latin, which is a dead language, that could mean that their focus is not on communication and that means they focus on the written form, and translation then is a way to teach vocabulary and grammar.
Hope that helps and good luck
