Kiso, I'm not sure what you have in mind for right grammar at the right time, but I definitely agree. I believe what might be right-right there might not work here.

Anyway, when I approach curriculum design, I have that same idea in mind. I have only worked with curriculum formation for conversation classes, but I always approach forms to be taught based on need of use, especially from beginner to elementary levels. Patrick, your example of 'I want you to ...' is a form that children don't really need or use, a company manager, maybe.) The same meaning can be expressed in a regular question form or even order form. Not that it doesn't need to be taught but it obviously causes confussion when taught simultaneously with 'I want to ...'

It was very helpful for me to watch my own children acquire language and monitor what forms are needed for communication.

Just adding to the rambling and thinking out loud.

(Kiso - congrats on the new site! It looks great.)
