EFL LANGUAGE CLASSES?   I know this will be controversial and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flack on it but I propose our schools teach ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE!   Now, having said that, I can assure you that I am a bona fide American Gringo. However, I am fluent in the Spanish language and can speak, read, and write it. How did I manage that? I took classes at both NYU and the University of Mexico in the Spanish language and culture. All classes were in TOTAL IMMERSION! Not one word of English was ever spoken or written. This extended to outside the classroom with parties, restaurants, trips, social and sports events, etc. I actually enjoyed it and had a lot of fun with a high degree of LEARNING along the way.   So, why do we teach English as a SECOND Language here?   Jim Richards
