My Special and Highly Effective Methods for Teaching English to Beginners

For beginners in English, the key to success is immersive, structured, and engaging learning. The following method combines real-life context, active recall, and progressive mastery to ensure efficient learning:

1. “One-Day, One-Theme” Immersion

Each day, focus on a single practical theme (e.g., ordering food, asking for directions, introducing oneself). Learners immerse themselves in that theme through:

• Listening to real-life dialogues (videos, podcasts)

• Reading short, simple texts related to the theme

• Practicing key vocabulary and phrases through mini-conversations

2. The “10-30-60” Rule for Retention

To reinforce memory, use spaced repetition:

• 10 minutes after learning → Quick review with flashcards or a quiz

• 30 minutes later → Use the words in a different sentence or scenario

•60 minutes layer – Produce simple oral or written output, such as short conversations or journal entries.
