• It will encourage work outside of class: avoiding spending time in class on things that can be done outside.
• It will emphasize oral agility: through dynamic and interactive classes where the student is the protagonist.
• He will carry out different activities: dividing the classes into several blocks of action in order to allow the level of attention and energy of the students to remain high.
• It will contribute with a didactic approach: emphasizing the use of language instead of giving a purely theoretical approach to classes. The best way to learn a grammar structure is to repeat it a hundred times until it is automated.
