Active Learning is Changing the Way the World Learns English. Language Bridge Technology (LBT) introduces Active Learning of English skills that will help you speak fluent English in about 12 months. Active Learning is in sharp contrast with learning a foreign language as information to be remembered. You can use Active Learning in the classroom and after the class is over using our Android application. With LBT, the learner starts speaking actively before he or she remembers the rules of grammar or vocabulary lists. Learning becomes active when each learner spends 80% of class time speaking in English. LBT allows exactly this by introducing simultaneous repetition of lessons and drills that all learners wearing earphones perform at the same time.

9. Passive Learning
Teaching EFL in pieces—
reading, writing,
listening, grammar,
pronunciation—
as if you can use one
without the others.
Learners remember only
10% of that they read,
20% of what they hear.

10. Passive Learning
Passive learners can't
communicate in their new
language because they
can't think in English.
They think in their native language,
then try to translate it into English:
it is a stressful and a very slow process.

11. Passive Learning
Clarissa Dirks:
passive learning is
decidedly passé –
and maybe even
unethical.
Especially if you
know that active
learning is much
faster.

English fluently in less than a year.
