The Interactive Language Workshop
is built around the idea that we most effectively learn and retain a
second language when we use it for communication. Thus each module of
the Workshop teaches a core vocabulary with pictures,
sound
and the written word, and then culminates in an activity in which the
learner uses the new language to accomplish a communication-based task.
This "use it to learn it" approach is what makes the Workshop
both effective and fun to use.
With the Workshop your students will...
