I plan to wait a month before starting on the next GDTE course. That's because I want to cement the habit of language learning in place first. I've almost completed my first week, but I understand that habits may take a month to become established.
But the above thought started me thinking that for language learners starting out, we shouldn't be testing their output. Output comes last, as a natural result of absorbing a ton of input (listening and reading).
That has implications for assessment, especially at the early stages. This is an idea that I ought to develop.
