• QualityTime-ESL
A method based on the idea that we learn
more and enjoy the learning process more, if
effective, efficient techniques are used.
If students are bored, even how many hours
of teaching are available the results will be
disappointing
• Qualitytime-ESL.com will make all ESL
teachers more effective and efficient!

Concepts and Tools of QualityTime-ESL
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 5
Effective learning requires “hands on learning”.
To learn to speak a foreign language…
you have to practice “speaking” it … as much as you can!
As Everyone Knows…
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 6
Now Let’s Do Some Calculating!
Traditional Teaching Methods1. Lecture: The teacher speaks, the students listen
2. Class: The «50-50» Method The teacher asks questions and…
the students answer… “ individually” The teacher speaks 50% = 30 minutes The students speak 50% = 30 minutes all together! Calculated “Individual Speaking Time” or “IST”
30 students: 1 mn / student 15 students: 2 mn each!
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 7
Other Considerations!
Traditional Teaching Methods Silences, confusion, written exams only reduce “IST” i.e.
Individual Speaking Time” Some students will speak more than others In ideal conditions: Still less than 1 minute per student!
The ‘Individual Speaking Time” of a 6 year course 1 mn/hour for 90 hours/year = 90 min/year 6 years with 90 min/year = 9 1/2 hours at the most!
What level do you reach after only 9 1/2 hours of speaking? Comprehension of some written texts Comprehension of a few oral sentences Ability to say about 10 sentences correctly

Goal Each student «speaks» 75% of class time during at least 40h/yr
TechniquesSystem of Tutorials (individual sessions with the teacher)
“Intensive Pair Work” / “Group Work” (3 to 4 students)
MeansLanguage Lab (Audio) / “Booklets” for independent work
Intranet Site - Laptops -Video projectors
Out of Class Communication through an Intranet site

“One-Person Tutorial” (during the lab)
• 25 minutes
• The student is alone with the teacher
• Oral presentation by the student
• Teacher listens, corrects and asks «real» questions
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 10
With the “Quality Time” concept all teachers participate in the tutorial system
Tutorials for All Students
Same requirements for all the students whoever their teacher

• 2 students
• 1 oral presentation
• Possibilities: Formal
presentations Interviews Discussions Or even a
combination of the above
“ Two-Person Tutorial” (during the lab hour)
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 12
• Correcting by the teacher in “Real Time”
• Corrections given both orally and in writing for the student to work over
Tutorials: Advantages (1)
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 13
Students repeat the corrections as they are being given
Later students make written annotations in final reports
Students choose freely the subjects and thus speak passionately about these topics!
Tutorials: Advantages (2)
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 14
Oral translations plus exercises
Evaluation of each segment in «real time»
Advantages:– Pronunciation– Fluency – Stress
– All included in
the evaluation
Oral Exams (during the lab hour)
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 15
« Intensive Pair Work »
Students work in pairs
The students become the “teachers”
The real teacher: Corrects, explains and gives advice…
individually!
Classroom Work
Marianne Raynaud QualityTime-ESL.com 16
Group Work (3 to 4 per group)
The students become the” teachers”
Again the real teacher: Corrects,
explains and gives advice…
individually or to small groups at
a time!
Creative Group Work

• What the teacher needs– Basic “Information Technology” tools (Lab, laptop, projector)
– An effective teaching method
– A motivating evaluation system
• What the student needs– A teacher who listens, corrects and motivates
– Documents to teach and guide him
• The solution = “The Quality Time Concept”– Creates an atmosphere that will promote verbal communication
– Ensures that each student speaks > 80% of class time
– Develops self-confidence and strong speaking skills
– Stresses: Interactivity, Authenticity and Créativity
Meeting the Needs
