Concepts that warp me

The author critiques traditional concepts in EFL, psychology, and linguistics, challenging notions of "past tense," "four skills," "accuracy/fluency," and "objective testing." He argues the oversimplification of "past tense" classification and rejects the "four skills" model, emphasizing the complexity of language involving various cognitive processes. The author refutes the dichotomy of "accuracy" and "fluency," asserting their simultaneous development supported by neurological evidence. Additionally, he criticizes "objective testing," advocating for evaluating language skills in real-world contexts. Overall, the author urges a nuanced understanding of language and learning, rejecting simplistic views in favor of appreciation for complexity.
