I still Can’t Speak English

I Still Can’t Speak English
7
Introduction
A more recent piece of research called 
Evaluation of the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada 
(LINC) Program
3
, carried out by the Canadian government, clearly shows that the improvement in 
speaking after 1000 hours in the ESL classroom is statistically the same against a control group that isn’t 
in school at all. So, the study showed that there was no improvement whatsoever.
Since I started English Out There (EOT) in 2001 it has produced English teaching and learning materials 
based upon 250,000 hours of teaching and constant student and teacher feedback from the field (i.e. the 
streets of London). Because of the process followed in every lesson the materials were also suitable for 
online use with social media such as Facebook and Skype.
If you read this manual and follow the instructions accurately and carefully you will start to become 
comfortable speaking English. This is not just another marketing claim, it is a fact and we can prove it 
with ‘before and after’ audio case studies. It is true because we all learn languages the same way and you 
just need to provide your brain with the right amount and type of information (i.e. understandable and 
interesting language) for it to begin to notice patterns that mean something to you.
To become an independent English learner you will also need to do a little bit of work but the more you 
do the more interesting and motivating it will become. The first three or four lessons are the hardest; 
that is when you learn how to
 learn
to speak English.
English Out There is a process and like any process if you miss one bit out you will not get the result 
you desire. We can provide some online help and support but most of it is up to you now, but you can 
do it, you can finally speak English comfortably.
