[edit] Initial Cleanup

Cleaned up the wording and removed most of the NPOV statements. Added a link that seems to be the main website for this subject (not sure if it is the official homepage for this method or not). More research needs to be done to verify the information in this article. The wording could still use a little more cleaning up and more information should be added. -- John Wyandson 22:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revamp

Found a really good article about this topic [1] -- John Wyandson 22:43, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

This article had much information on this topic, containing enough to revamp this article and to create a decent article on Li Yang. One thing that should be done is getting permission from the authors to use the article's images. Although this article still could use a bit of improvement, I think it is now a halfway decent Wikipedia article. I plan on creating the Li Yang article later on, but if anyone else wants to start on it, thats cool too. -- John Wyandson 23:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comment removed from article

But there is a question: does this method work to help the student to "communicate" with the set of words memorised simply by shouting aloud at the wind? In Chinese public schools the "communicative approach" to foreign language acquisition is practically ignored,and LI Yang's method does not work in the long run.

I'm not exactly sure what the editor meant, or whether it was intended to be part of the article, but it would need a source to be in the article (perhaps in a criticism section) and avoid being original research. Rigadoun (talk) 21:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
