The document discusses Language Bridge Technology (LBT), a patented method for teaching English as a foreign language. LBT uses speech shadowing of lessons and drills through headphones to train all English skills concurrently. This allows learners to start speaking actively from the beginning. An LBT Android application provides lessons, drills, and inspirational poems for learners to shadow, both independently and with a teacher. LBT claims to help learners achieve English fluency faster than traditional methods by creating an intuitive, stress-free environment for acquiring language patterns.

Achieving fluency in English as a foreign language (EFL) is the main objective ofany language
school. It is not easy by using conventional methods due to two reasons:
1. Instead ofT raining English Skills,language schools teach them as information to be
memorized.
2. Instead ofmodern active learning,language schools use unproductive passive
learning.
Language Bridge Technology (LBT) introduces the patented methodofactive Training
English Skills. The method uses speech shadowing oflessons and drills that all learners wearing
headsets, performat the same time. The LBT approach precludes learning separate words or
components ofEnglish, like listening skills, reading or conversational skills. Instead, it creates
the environmentfor acquiring all languageskills (reading,listening, speaking,writing, and
pronunciation) concurrently in the process ofreenacting familiar situations exclusively in English.
This allows the brain to rememberlanguage patterns and intuitive grammar, and prepare it for
thinking and speaking in English.
Language Bridge Technology Android application
The application provides support in Mandarin when
the learner needs it, but the main experienceis in English. If you
have a different nativelanguage, I recommendusing an online
translation service to grasp the text better. You need to
pronounce English text aloudmany times concurrently with
the recording. The application lets learners share recorded
sessions with friends or with a teacher. Three types oftexts are
used in every lesson:
1. Pre-recorded lessons on various topics and drills.
2. Lessons added by a learner or a teacher.
3. Inspirational poem recorded by a native speaker.
Content can be customized by the learneror the teacher.
The LBT application can be used for self-teaching as well as
classroom instruction or guided online coaching.
Guided instruction and self-study
This course is for students and teachers who want to encourage students to combine guided
learning with self-study through mobile applications. We offer technical support for teachers
implementing active training ofEFL using LBT. With LBT, the learner starts speaking actively
before he or she memorizes the rules ofgrammar or vocabulary lists. This process lets the learner
express thoughts and feelings in English without resorting to cross-translation.
Speech shadowing leads to retention without remembering.

all English Skills and forming the English speech center in the brain.

LBT providesan unprecedented opportunity for
EFL learners to speak 5-10 times more than in
a conventional class. The LBT approach precludes
learning separate words or components ofEnglish,
like listening skills, reading or conversational skills.
LBT is integrated with the digital learners’ tablets,
smartphones and social media programs that every
learner uses many hours a day.
How to use LBT application
The Language Bridge Technology approach is radically different from traditional methods.
That is why we recommend combining self-teaching with guided learning.The instructor will help
learners eliminate the negative impact and misconceptions obtained through prior learning
methods. In a class using LBT, the learners work in pairs using the same application both in
the class and at home. They are speaking and teaching each other most ofthe time.
The language traineranswers questionsthat learners may have and creates practical situations
to demonstrate or clarify difficult languagepoints.
There are no textbooks, no lectures, and no correction oferrors or pronunciation. LBTapplication
allows learners to paste any text from the Internet to create your own lesson. You may use this drill
also for preparation ofyour homework by typing any text.
Online Course of Training EFL
If you want to becomefluent in English in less than a year, you may sign up for this online course:

This course offersa stress-free training environment instead ofthe stressful learning and
memorization ofthe traditional methods. English Proficiencyin China is low, apparently because
language training centers often follow misconceptions, which make English fluency a difficult goal
to achieve. Here are five statements to counter the five misconceptions:
1. A foreign language is not a subject you learn:it is a skill you acquire.
2. Acquisition of English skills requires an integrated method ofactive training.
3. Video lessons are not the next-best languagelearning resource.
4. Web sites for language exchangerarely improve languageskills.
5. Avoid flashcards and direct translation tools when acquiring language skills.
Testimonials
Hendrik: … major contribution of LBT and the reason for its unprecedented success.
Nellie: LBT has the potential to bring about a quantumchangenot only in the way adult students
learn English, but also in the expectations applied to the study of English.
Wertheimer: Due to speech shadowing, the students’ activespeaking time in the class increases
manifold while creating a stress-free environment for intuitive acquisition.
Kaplan: LBT reinforces visual images while suppressing the learner’s powerful subconscious
habit of translating initially into his or her native language.
