Episode 531: From Violins to Verbs – The Suzuki Method and IEW

Listen to this episode to learn Andrew Pudewa’s history of training with Dr. Shinichi Suzuki and how Andrew recognized in Dr. Webster’s Structure and Style® methodology a kind of Suzuki Method™ for English composition. Based on modeling and imitation, a sequential development of techniques, periodic review of composition structures, and an emphasis on mastery prior to progression, Dr. Webster’s writing program was a near perfect implementation of Dr. Suzuki’s philosophy of education.
