Talk:Grammar–translation method

message: … what is the teacher's role in such a method? why is a method and not an approach; in other words, how is a language teaching method different from a language teaching approach? what then can we call a technique?
Teacher's role in GTM:
detailed explanation of grammatical rules
error correction (immediate)
asking comprehension questions
etc.
As for technique and method:
step (item, technique): the smallest possible unit in a language teaching process eg.: reading aloud, fill the gap, repeat what you hear etc.;
process: consists of steps, a logical series of steps eg.: dialogue exploitation;
method: a finite number of steps in which the arranged language content and classroom teaching form are organically entwined to ensure the necessary dedactic phases for acquisition during the whole process.
I hope this helps.

The Disadvantages section looks like POV to me and needs citation - for example the classification of the Grammar Translation method as 'unnatural' and then a reference to hearing/speaking/reading/writing looks very much like most of the advertising blurb that goes with language courses, or the untested theories of modern linguistics scholars.  Can citations be added please?
Besides, there are no clear sources supporting the notion that Grammar-Translation neglected speech. There are many textbooks back from the eighteen century to teach foreign languages (like Adler's Latin course) that strengthened fluent speech all along. Furthermore Europe, South America and even in the States people learnt to speak, write and read perfectly through centuries through this technique. This text needs to be thoroughly edited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.27.58.131 (talk) 13:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of the Neches

message: Further, article suffers from serious POV issues in portraying Houston and Lamar as white and black hat. Houston (in his capacities as general, Indian agent, and president) made many and varied promises to the Cherokees, but (while his drunken good intentions are probable) it's not clear even he ever believed he could actually secure them. As source mentions but article doesn't, Lamar's more vitriolic comments followed a barbaric assault upon the Parkers; as article mentions but doesn't fully explain, the Cordova Rebellion was collusion between the Cherokee and Mexican agents, an existential threat to the Texan Republic. Article simply lies in stating Lamar pursued violent uncompensated eviction as a first course of action (see primary source here; will remove that section.) -LlywelynII (talk) 18:58, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:1989 Kids' Choice Awards

message: So regarding my recent removal of the 'Favorite Cartoon' category... I found this post on Reddit last night, a ballot for an old KCA with the June 25 date and all nominees matching up with those listed here, but the ballot does not list 'Favorite Cartoon' whatsoever. (Direct link to ballot on Imgur in case Reddit post ever is taken down)
It's hard enough with no sources covering the winners of the old shows, even from Nickelodeon themselves, but doing some Google searches, only places I could find anything regarding Favorite Cartoon in 1989 is here, and IMDb, which is user editable anyways (WP:RS/IMDB/WP:CITINGIMDB). So, I've decided to remove the category. Should we get any WP:RS on this, we can definitely add it back in. Magitroopa (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

message: I like this article, but there is considerable overlap with Laplace-Beltrami operator.  I thought there was another related article as well, but now I can't seem to find it.  Anyway, in light of the existence of this article, it may be worth doing some top level reorganization, such as trimming away bits of the Laplace-Beltrami operator article which are already duplicated here.  silly rabbit (talk) 16:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlap with other articles 

message: The article starts with "In differential geometry there are a number of second-order, linear, elliptic differential operators bearing the name Laplacian."  Then in section 2 "This operator is defined on any manifold equipped with a Riemannian- or pseudo-Riemannian metric." Well if you take a Lorentzian metric the Laplacian so defined is hyperbolic. Should the article start be including pseudo-Reimannian metrics, thus dropping ellipticity as generally true? What about statements about the spectrum if we are considering non-elliptic operators?Billlion (talk) 22:01, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Seashell resonance

message: The article says, "The resonator is simply amplifying some frequencies of the ambient noise in the environment...", but passive resonators don't do non-linear or even pseudo-linear amplification. What you are actually hearing is a modification of the impulse response of the ambient_noise-seashell_position-environmental_acoustics-ear_pinnae-inner_ear system. No extra energy is used for power, so it's not amplification. What happens is that some of the sound energy that would go somewhere other than the ear is absorbed by the shell and reflected back into the ear, increasing apparent volume. 4.242.147.234 (talk) 05:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

What people are hearing is not a resonance/pure tone of the air in the shell, although the natural frequencies of the shell/ear enclosure play a role.

* Except for legal uses, IAVI now goes solely by IAVI. We no longer use a long form name. Could the article title and first reference to IAVI be edited to reflect that change?
* IAVI's mission has changed. It is now "to translate scientific discoveries into affordable, globally accessible public health solutions." The mission can be found at the About page. Could the new mission be reflected in the first sentence of the article?
* Since the article was last edited, IAVI has expanded from working only on HIV/AIDS vaccines to developing vaccines for tuberculosis and vaccines for such emerging infectious diseases as Lassa fever and Marburg virus.

Talk:List of state highways in California

message: The idea that the shield represents a miner's spade is very appropriate; however, the two RSs only state that it's in that shape but don't actually prove that that's what was intended. Conversely, the author of the April 1937 California Highways and Public Works article that I just added as a source directly identifies it as acorn-shaped, and while that may be the opinion of the author, since he worked for the Division of Highways, it follows that that's probably a direct official identification and thus holds more weight. Incidentally, the August 1934 CHPW article that introduced the marker, cited at , never describes the marker shape in the text, it only shows an illustration. Mapsax (talk) 22:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Per Page 11 of this CHPW article  the current version of CA's highway shield was released in 1964.
