 * 3 - form - do need grammar, but it have different methods, like small talk, immediate corrective feedback
 * 4 - implicit knowledge - 3 positions - zero grammar approach, PPP, do it yourself grammar
 * 5 - built-in syllabus (intuitive) - way we learn second language is similar to way learn a first language (natural acquisition)
 * 6 - extensive input - lots of exposure
 * 7 - opportunities for output - lots of practice
 * 8 - interact in language - learns conversationally, small group work
