During the 2-day workshop in TEYL in Malang on May 1-2, one of the presenters underlined the theories of Children as tabularasa and the brain plasticity. That was why young learners learn things faster than adult.
Whether those theories are taken as myths or misconception, when it is regarding teachers, I think the most important things is the QUALITY OF INPUT.

If not, then it will be a disaster to the following level teachers, say the high school teachers. Correcting the brain is NOT a simple thing.
During the workshop, I found out that YES, the teachers NEED to IMPROVE their COMPETENCE. There were some basic mistakes they made and yet they were in leisure fun and group activities, and they were reminded to consult one another to check their sentences so quality input was guaranteed.
See some examples in the pictures below. Now....what do we do? They were so confident in teaching English and..the quality...?
