Chapter 14: Getting Going

 
 

By now I hope you have listened to the audio before and after clips of Jane and Liliana and had a think about the process of EOT and how you can use it to help yourself.

Remember. To create your own study plans for self-guided speaking practice you need to collect some materials by searching online and then organise them using any online cloud document creation system (Google Drive, Office Apps, or Wang Pan) to give you just enough Input to be able to have a conversation at the right level for you.

Make sure. To try out your first few lessons with someone you know so that you can judge their effectiveness at using the target language and developing a good learning conversation. It will be a bit of work but it will be very good for your language development as large amounts of reading and listening with content that you mostly understand is the best way to acquire a language and the best way to prepare you to start speaking with confidence.

However, if this all sounds like a lot of work and you want to make it as easy as possible for yourself to do some EOT you can just buy some inexpensive tried and tested lesson worksheets. The worksheets will guide you at the right level and give you interesting and useful things to talk about, new vocabulary and a proper course structure.

To do what Liliana did (i.e. do a whole course level) just decide what your current speaking level is (you know better than any tester, really!) and buy one self-study level (SS) HERE, download it and use this ebook manual with it.
