Let's Go! Getting Your Students to Talk Fluently!
Ritsuko Nakata
Oxford University Press
 

It is not how many hours a week a student studies, but HOW the teacher teaches that is the KEY to successful classes. The speaker will demonstrate how stressing OUTPUT will motivate students to get immediate results. By using a unique, new method called MAT, students use parts of both sides of the brain simultaneously which encourages speech as well as retention, but much faster than in conventional ways. MAT does not require students to memorize their lessons, therefore, they can use English without translating it in NATURAL SPEED. However, the time required to learn them is DRAMATICALLY shortened as speaking is taught simultaneously. 
With paradigms in sets of Q&A as in Let's Go, young students learn to speak 80% or more in class. In this way they are encouraged to THINK in English and become successful speakers even from the first lesson!
