Abstract for the TRIZ Conference
FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR ALL
(Reasons for Unsuccessful Learning)

1. Inability to apply the laws of general systems theory to designing a foreign language course.
2. Incorrect formulation of learning objectives.
3. Inability to establish interaction between subsystems and orient them toward each other.
4. Ignorance of the hierarchy of levels within the subsystem of speech mechanisms.
5. Misunderstanding that exercises should develop specific speech mechanisms, not merely drill linguistic information.
6. Misunderstanding that the linguistic formulation of thought relies on automatisms operating exclusively at the subconscious level, where conscious processing is often even detrimental.

A work system designed to eliminate all these shortcomings and develop translation-free mastery of a foreign language
