Find out how we can help.

We already have all the resources any school needs to achieve the following:

Consistent results for 99% of learners.

  • Success is not dependent on doing homework, having a good memory, or being able to stay focused during a lesson.

  • Students simply need to participate in classroom communication practice activities & make at least a small amount of effort to learn the vocabulary words required for each communication activity.

  • In our classroom testing with learners as young as 4 and as old as 50, this ensured consistent, easy-to-measure progress for 99% of learners.

Give your learners a rock solid English foundation.

  • With our existing hands-on learning resources, students will be able to develop a highly-functional vocabulary of at least 1200 words.

  • Since all of those words will be practiced with in-class communication exercises until learners achieve at least a basic level of mastery in using them, progress will be consistent and easily measurable.

  • The range of sentences used in our available classroom learning activities (which include speaking, listening, phonics, reading, and writing practice) will give learners the knowledge they need to communicate virtually anything.

Easy methods to prove results to students and parents.

  • Since the program is build around practicing communication tasks until mastery is achieved, it is easy to show that students are able to communicate things they couldn’t communicate a few lessons prior.

  • It’s easy to create before & after videos that show easily recognizable progress after just a few 30-60 minute lessons.

  • For learners, their motivation will quickly increase, because they’ll see themselves making progress.

  • Parents of younger learners will be able to see their children quickly gaining demonstrable abilities, which is a much better measuring stick than exam scores.

With our help, develop a full program fast.

  • We can help you quickly implement a program with a learning plan (composed of levels and units), all required classroom resources, clearly defined learning goals, and an easy to understand testing/grading protocol.

  • Build a program around a set of textbook/workbooks or create something completely custom — based on your school’s unique goals, learner needs, and cultural situation.

  • Depending on the size of the program, the entire design and implementation of a foundational English language program can be completed in 45-90 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will learners be able to communicate with 1200+ words?

It depends on the age of the learners and how many English classes students get per week, but based on our classroom testing, we believe that:

  • For learners aged 6 & older, a school offering five 40-minutes English classes each week, it is safe to expect a high level of communication competence with at least 1200 words 75% of learners after 3 years and 99% of learners after 4 years.

  • For students aged 9 & older with the same number of classes a week, this progress can be achieved in 2-3 years depending on the learner.

  • A full-time program with 20-30 hours of class each week, these results would be achievable for 90% of learners in 9 to 12 months.

  • For adult learners, especially those who have already studied a lot of English in school, but never gained confidence and ability in speaking, the speed of learning may be even faster.

Why is having a powerful foundational English program so important?

Ensuring learning results quickly makes everything much easier later on.

  • For a primary school, this ensures that nearly every student will be ready for CEFR A2-level content by the 4th or 5th grade, setting them on a path towards B2-level communication skills by the end of grade 8 and C1 or C2-level fluency by the end of grade 12.

  • For an English training center, this makes it easy to set clear expectations for learning achievement with students and/or their parents. Progress will already be clear after just 3 lessons and continued progress past that point will be easy to recognize and document.

  • For programs with students who are already living in an environment where English is the main language spoken locally, an efficient program that quickly builds confident within weeks gets learners ready ASAP to make the most of the daily English speaking opportunities all around them.

What is difference about your approach?

We believe that languages are skills and that skills can only be developed with lots of practice, so we’ve created the high quality classroom learning resources that make it easy for 90% of ESL class-time to spent doing useful practice.

Our 100+ learning activities are interesting enough that students are willing to practice the same task repeatedly until they achieve a sufficient level of mastery.

Then their teacher can graduate them to a slightly more challenge task that will further level up their skills. Just like riding a unicycle, carpentry skills, and driving a forklift, it’s hard to not get better with continual level appropriate practice.
