6. Psychology for the plateau
Measuring progress
Perhaps what defines theplateau feeling can’t be
measured in language skills
proficiency or years but in lack
of progress
As they progress it
becomes much harder for
them to notice real
improvements
Maybe the problem ishow stds are measuring
their progress
