This approach requires the teacher to initially take on all the responsibility for a task, transitioning in stages to the students assuming full independence in ...
A common test for negative transfer is the AB-AC list learning paradigm from the verbal learning research of the 1950s and 1960s. In this paradigm, two lists of paired associates are learned in succession, and if the second set of associations (List 2) constitutes a modification of the first set of associations (List 1), negative transfer results and thus the learning rate of the second list ...
These examples encourage critical thinking that engages the student and helps them understand what they are learning—one of the goals of transfer of learning [24] and desirable difficulties. Bridging is when instruction encourages thinking abstractly by helping to identify connections between ideas and to analyze those connections.
The natural approach is a method of language teaching developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

These methods make lessons easier to understand and help students improve their English skills while still learning the same material as everyone else. [ 5 ] Teachers who use sheltered instruction adapt their teaching to meet the needs of English language learners.
