According to recent surveys more than 50% of the respondents in the majority of the 27 European states admitted that they cannot speak a foreign language well enough to make a conversation. What are the reasons for the low number of fluent foreign language speakers? EU has everything that is necessary for efficient language teaching: sufficient amount of hours for the subject at schools, excellent teaching material, modern equipment and highly qualified teachers. However, the perfect educational system does not work for 50% per cent of language learners. How could the paradox be explained? The main reason is our disillusion that learning a foreign language is not a problem for an average student. We strongly believe that there are much more slow foreign language learners than we used to think. If we admit the fact, we should consider slow learners as normal, whereas quick learners should be treated as rather the exception.

We have been specializing in teaching slow and extremely slow foreign language learners for more than 25 years and have developed our own very efficient method (the Speech Plasma Method) that converts slow learners into quick ones. You need neither any extra hours nor changing your textbooks. You should only know that slow learners are not bad learners, they just need some special treatment, speech plasma training, to become much quicker learners. Our motto has always been: “If you can teach an extremely-slow-foreign-language learner to speak the language fluently, you can teach anyone!”

The Speech Plasma Method is based on the idea that we can speak a foreign language fluently only when we can think in the foreign language. Special Speech Plasma Training is practicing to speak fluently and making the student think in the foreign language from the very first lessons. We have created hundreds of special drills for that including a smartphone application (iOS and Android) for beginners and false beginners.

The presentation will contain slides, videos and parts of apps to illustrate the method and its application.
