Why It Works
Authentic models
Learners work with National Geographic topics and TED Talks, which provide clear examples of structure, persuasive language and effective visuals to imitate.
Guided practice to real output
Each unit moves from focused listening and language work to a tangible product such as a mini talk or panel discussion, with targeted feedback that turns techniques into habits.
Integrated skills with repetition
Listening, speaking, pronunciation and vocabulary are recycled across tasks, so skills transfer to seminars, meetings and presentations outside the course.
