🔹 Interactive classes where students speak from day one.
🔹 Ideal for all ages, with topics adapted to different levels and contexts.
Example: In a face-to-face class, students can practice conversations in a restaurant or airport. Online, breakout rooms on Zoom can be used for discussions or role-playing games.
