Effective learning requires “hands on learning”.
To learn to speak a foreign language…
you have to practice “speaking” it … as much as you can!
As Everyone Knows…

Now Let’s Do Some Calculating!
Traditional Teaching Methods
1. Lecture: The teacher speaks, the students listen
2. Class: The «50-50» Method
The teacher asks questionsand…the students answer…“ individually”
The teacher speaks 50% = 30 minutes
The students speak 50% = 30 minutes all together!
Calculated “Individual Speaking Time” or “IST”
30 students: 1 mn / student
15 students: 2 mn each!

Other Considerations!
Traditional Teaching Methods
Silences, confusion, written exams only reduce “IST” i.e.Individual Speaking Time”
Some students will speak more than others
In ideal conditions: Still less than 1 minute per student!
The ‘Individual Speaking Time” of a 6 year course
1 mn/hour for 90 hours/year = 90 min/year
6 years with 90 min/year = 9 1/2 hours at the most!
What level do you reach after only 9 1/2 hours of speaking?
Comprehension of some written texts
Comprehension of a few oral sentences
Ability to say about 10 sentences correctly
