Watch the Video (A Guide on How to Do the BYOD Activity)
Use your Imagination and Creativity!
Be Creative, Confident, and Fluent in English!
BYOD is a convergence of interactive courses to improve English fluency, memory training, creative visualization, and automatic response training (Arty's "ART aka Automatic Response Training").
Each of the six mini-modules allows you to practice short question-and-answer dialogues. You will also create your own dialogue using the same module.
Contains dialogues ranging from 2 to 24 lines on solid topics that are useful not only for everyday conversation but also for studying for TOEIC and IELTS.
Each course is basically 3 weeks* (10 minutes a day, 6 days a week) or 4 weeks including recycling/revising/re-practice, but all practice is available for the duration of the course.
Through the course, you will learn simple skills, techniques and strategies for learning English, and learn how to self-study - how to learn English.
Follow the four steps below.
1) Listen/feel/think about the text
2) Improve fluency by listening and repeating (shadowing).
3) Use memory images to remember.
4) Regularly practice the 4R self-test (reproduce, recycle, modify, redo).
By repeating each step as many times as necessary, you will be able to recall dialogues that are given to you as well as dialogues that you have created yourself.
This course is designed to help you practice the three most neglected skills in many language learning programs:
1) Feeling English.
2) Actively memorize the content.
3) Use your imagination and visualize creatively.
By doing the above, you will be able to:。
* Build confidence
* Increase fluency
* Overcome shame and hesitation
* Be more creative
Respect for the four learning styles is encouraged in all activities.
Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Temporal and other useful things.
Develop a more balanced, more flexible and ultimately more productive approach to learning English.
