SpeakYourMind is designed specifically to meet the needs of adult and teenage learners following part-time courses and who are likely to have little or no time for self-study. SpeakYourMind is particularly effective in the development of spoken fluency and confidence and in the learning of vocabulary.
While some methods focus on how learners are different, SpeakYourMind is developed from the broad similarities that exist in both what people want to learn, and how they can learn. The result is an integrated programme of material and practical teaching procedures that prove reliable, effective and enjoyable with a wide range of learners in real-world teaching situations.
The style of the lessons, along with a strong sense of making progress, combine to provide a solid basis for SpeakYourMind's appeal. The underlying learning theory and straightforward lesson procedure comply to most learners' own intuition, making the course accessible and attractive.
"Simplicity is a good thing - it is
something we want in the things
that we use and in the things we do
- and if learning with SpeakYourMind
comes across as 'simple', that is to
its credit."
English for Exams
If you plan to take an exam in English, the SpeakYourMind programme will take you through to the required level and give you the command of the language that you will need. Most schools run short specific exam-prep courses for students. For example a 15-lesson module prepares students for the Cambridge PET, and a 25-lesson module for the Cambridge FCE is standard in many SyM schools.
As for results? As an example, the Wornham School in La Coruna, Spain regularly enters around 150 students annually for Cambridge EFL exams and has a pass-rate of around 90%.
Groups and 1-1
SpeakYourMind is designed to be effective for groups and for 1-to-1 courses and most schools will offer that choice.
Company language training

badly is a cost"

"This is a great method. Before I did a course with SpeakYourMind I was too embarrassed to speak. Now I feel really comfortable when I use English - and people understand everything I say!"
