Are you bored learning English from textbooks? Do you feel like you´ll never learn to speak English? Do you or your students need more practice with real people? I might have a solution for you... There is a new programme on the Internet called English Out There. It was put together by an English teacher and online professional Jason West from London. Jason owns a language school and works on developing effective, yet simple products for students who desperately want to skyrocket their speaking skills but don´t know how.
English Out There is the only project, that I know of, which incorporates social interaction (via social media sites such as Facebook) with fluent and native English speakers. And it is an absolute bargain. For only $0.25-$0.40 per hour you can now follow a course which, as Jason claims, will finally make a difference. I know it did in my course!So how does it work? Very simply. You download an e-book on your speaking level, study a lesson (usually 3-4 worksheets), alone or with a teacher, and then you go and practise the target language online with your conversation partners.
And how do you find conversation partners? Here is one option - use one or more of these social websites:

Wonderful blogpost on Eot, Nina.
I hope language learners everywhere can appreciate how important this is. Your clear presentation of English Out There should certainly point them in the right direction.
Your personal video is cool - I sense some show biz talent, as well as, creative teaching tricks up your sleeve!!
