Conversation Coursewww.one2oneacademy.com

A collection of conversation based lesson plans. Inspired by our stu-dents, they are designed to get you to talk.

Who are you?

We are a team of spe-c i a l i s e d E n g l i s h teachers. Embracing technology and cre-ating dynamic lesson plans that help stu-dents to relate to the speaking element of the English language.

We value traditional educational formats but have responded to a growing number of students who want t o l e a r n a b o u t grammatical struc-tures, intonation and build on their com-munication skil ls

without the need for books and paper.

We have never ad-

vertised and have developed our sys-tem purely on refer-rals, all learning sys-tems must be mea-surable and as an or-ganisation we believe that our best adver-tisement is you.

We only teach via the i n t e r n e t , e x p e r i-enced in a virtual class room scenario.

Just as every stu-dent is different, so are our teachers, each one originates from a different edu-cational background which complements our team.

As an Academy we b e l i e v e t h a t w e should work as hard as you do so our ma-terials are bespoke, carefully assembled and well thought out giving you a very unique learning ex-perience.

We are very proud to be different and hope that you enjoy our portfolio of conversa-tion lesson plans.

The beginning

Every student starts this way, a 15 minute free class gives us the opportunity to access your level and for you to access whether our team can help you to reach your learning objec-tives.

Sometimes we can really benefit from being in a scenario where it’s easier to communicate because the topic is in con-text, but what happens if the chosen topic is out of context?

Our classes are designed to get you to think and talk about topics and subjects that are in both these genres. Helping you to begin to think in English and reduce translation time.

Learning how to talk about topics that you would normally identify with in a mother tongue is a great starting point these would include the weather, news or general knowl-edge.

We believe that re-moving these stabi-lizers very often forces a student to think rather than just apply sentences that they have learnt with a lexical ap-proach.

Certain exam formats keep to set topics and this will probably never change as these tests are designed to measure general ability. Con-versation building is based on the ability to select strands of infor-mation and divide each strand into a topic.

This is easier said than done and requires considerable practice but we like to think of conversation

based on a simple model of a tennis match.

We serve a ball with a question, y o u r e t u r n t h e serve with an an-swer in this sce-nario your objec-tive is to keep the ball in play as long as you can.

Just like Tennis, you get your turn to serve the ball (ask questions) without this inter-action or contribution the ball will not remain in play and the dura-tion of the match will be short-ened.

Interaction within a conversation can only function taking these two factors into consideration. It’s easy to forget how you maintained a conversation so we provide a recording focussing on key areas of a class, this way you have some-thing tangible to refer to as we do not believe in books and paper.

Time Zones

We are a global company so you can select your individual time zone when you book a class.
