Second language acquisition depends on the interpersonal relationship) between teacher-student as well as student-student. These interpersonal relationships are based on rapport, which is defined as "a mutual, respectful, enjoyable, and positive connection" (Frisby, 2018). There are two quotes that reflect this. First, Aristotle stated, "educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." Second, Confucius stated, "By three methods we may learn wisdom; First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is bitterest. These quotes highlight the need for rapport.Table of Contents
