LAT4M Main Index
Contents of this page
This is the main index for all my works connected with Language
Acquisition and Teaching (or LAT). Created on 080218 in Deep River, Ontario.
Most of my work concerns the collection of
materials, most of which are under copyrights. This collection has been going
on for years and only now have they been assembled for this presentation. My
collection is in the library which is only available to my fellow researchers
particularly the staff and students of TIL in Myanmar. This collection is not
available on the Internet.
The reader might perhaps be wondering why I, U Kyaw Tun, a retired
Chemistry professor from Myanmar is in the field of language acquisition and
teaching. The answer is simple. I had no desire to be in this field until I
was by chance trying to help a student from Myanmar, in this case my own
daughter, who was taking a distant education course from a Canadian school at
a time when Internet was not fully accessible to her. She was in need of
reference materials to read, and I in Canada, had to get them in time to her for
completing her assignments. The text assigned to her was no other than
Language Learning and Teaching, 3rd. ed. by H. D. Brown. At that time the
4th edition had just been published, and I bought a copy, scanned it and set
in HTML for me to insert in my notes. These, I had sent her and she had to
read to complete her assignments.

I have used ellipses without implying that the resultant is a
gist of the original text. The reader is warned that he or she may get the wrong
idea different from what Brown had meant. You are strongly advised to use the
original book. My notes are just meant to assist you and me who has a killing
habit to look into every name and every theory mentioned in a text. I have
worked on the book soon after it came on the market, and this (080218) is the
second time I am going through. And I am finding that there are still some more
names and theories that I should have looked up. Some of my notes have been uploaded.
