The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model
In a one-hour class, our goal is for the learner to speak for around 45 minutes.
This makes the class different from a normal English lesson. The learner stays active from the beginning, while the teacher guides, supports, and helps them speak with more clarity and confidence.
How Our Method Works
Step 1: Receive the SHO
Before class, the learner receives a Student Handout with clear preparation instructions
Step 2: Complete the SHO
The learner completes the SHO before the lesson.
Step 3: Send It to the Teacher
The learner sends the completed SHO to the teacher before class.
Step 4: Teacher Checks It
The teacher approves the SHO or asks the learner to make small changes.
Step 5: Class Begins
The lesson starts with the learner already prepared.
Step 6: Speak More with Teacher Guidance
The class follows the 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model. The learner speaks more, while the teacher asks questions, guides answers, and gives support.
Common Questions About SHO
What is an SHO?
An SHO is a Student Handout that the learner receives before class. It prepares the learner for the speaking work they will do during the lesson.
What does SHO contain?
It contains the vocabulary, language support, examples, prompts, and any important information the learner needs to use while speaking in class.
How much time do I need to complete SHO?
Most learners need around 15 to 45 minutes to complete the SHO. The goal is not to write perfect answers. The goal is to prepare the language needed for active speaking in class.
