inlingua’s method for success

The Basic 10 Principles

1. Lessons are taught in the target language only – trainers encourage learners to start

thinking and speaking in the target language

from the first lesson.

2. Learn through speaking – books are closed

for most of the lesson and learners are given

the opportunity to speak as much as

possible.

3. Exemplify rather than explain – learners learn better if they induce rules for themselves from examples rather than try to memorize rules they are told.

4. Get the learners doing the talking – learners need practice.

5. Get the atmosphere right – different classes need different approaches; adopt a flexible approach.

6. Handle learners’ language mistakes with care – trainers know exactly the form and timing of correction according to the stages of the lesson.

7. Check before you teach new language – trainers will find out if learners already

know something before they teach it

8. Give learners opportunities to experiment – learners need to be creative with new

language, to express their own ideas.

9. Variety in teaching – wide variety of techniques

achieve effective and enjoyable classes.

10. Three key techniques – ask questions, have

learners weave new language, and keep the

student books closed during the lesson.
