Think Positive Speaking Club
Only ...... £20 per month
So many of us these days learn a language at home in front of our laptop. And while there are definitely benefits to remote learning, there are drawbacks too.
-
How do you know what mistakes you are making?
-
How do you know if you are making sense?
-
How do you know if your pronunciation is clear?
Although you can practice speaking by yourself, it's never the same as having a real conversation with a real human being. Not only is it difficult to practice your interaction skills, you don't benefit from the rich cultural exchanges, surprising new ideas or the warmth of human contact.
Language was made for communicating our thoughts, feelings and ideas, after all!
Most language learners are capable of learning a lot by themselves. Learners work on their grammar and vocabulary, and their reading and listening. They courageously prepare for difficult exams alone and unsupported.
But speaking, the skill that most needs the attention and care of other people, is neglected.
And when we neglect our speaking, anxiety and doubt set in.
Am I saying it right?
Am I making myself clear?
​
When we don't live in an English speaking country, it's hard to find opportunities to meet other English learners and practice our speaking.
​
We might feel shy of practising with native speakers (even though we really want to!).
We might not feel like our natural self when we are talking with our teacher, even if they are lovely.
We don't get the chance to relax into our speaking with our peers. We can't learn from their mistakes and teach them through ours. We have no community of like-minded friends who lovingly support us on our journey.
I believe this is a terrible loss for learners.
The Think Positive Speaking Club aims to change this. In the Speaking Club, you will meet people who are English learners, just like you.
Think Positive Speaking gives you three opportunities every week to practise your speaking:​
​
Session One: Chilled out Chatting / Captivating Conversations, Tuesday at 11.00 am GMT
Increase your confidence and fluency in the Chilled out Chatting session.
Chilled-Out Chatting / Captivating Conversations is open to learners from A2 and above and offers you a relaxing but stimulating environment to practice informal conversation around everyday topics. ​
Session Two: Solo Solution / Supercharged Solos,
Thursday 17.00 GMT
Get ready for your exam or presentation with this session dedicated to solo speaking. Solo Solution / Supercharged Solos is open to learners from B1 and above and provides a safe, supportive environment for you to work on solo exam tasks or short (max 5 minutes) presentations. ​
Session Three: Dazzling Discussions,
Saturday 12.00 GMT ​
Expand your ability to discuss complex issues in depth with this Saturday session dedicated to advanced and proficient-level English speakers.

​
And there's more!
As well as three fantastic speaking opportunities, you'll get:
-
an online friendship group where you can ask questions and get support from me and the other members
-
group feedback after each session so that you can celebrate your successes and master your mistakes

topics and questions in advance so that you have time to think and prepare
-
extra suggestions and help for exam candidates (Cambridge and IELTS) so that you can get ready for your big day with confidence

Sarah's teaching approach is wonderful. I have learnt a lot in this three-idea paragraph workshop. She has not only taught us the steps to write a paragraph, she has also given us personal feedback after we tried the steps ourselves. Really grateful for this opportunity.
