"Whenever possible, she obtained aural input, from conversation or from radio. About her core novel method: "Of course, Dr Lomb is aware that reading alone will not suffice to understand the oral, everyday language." She notes that "those who use my method may find difficulty in the oral language." Error correction "can have very negative effects and can actually make language acquisition more difficult".
"She does not recommend learning vocabulary out of context". "Grammar study...is not the core of language acquisition".
