SLTC helps students dramatically improve their command of foreign language at all proficiency levels. This is achieved through incorporating specific tools into student communication with native speakers.

Our communicative tactics help students to:

• take control of communication

• overcome the fear of making grammatical mistakes while speaking to a foreigner

• avoid translation from native speech to foreign speech

• express difficult ideas with language available to the speaker

SLTC also helps teachers to use communicative tactics as a principle of teaching speaking and listening. The transformation of these tactics into a set of teaching guidelines means:

• lesson planning and syllabus design are based on these tactics

• unique exercises are used corresponding to these tactics with the teaching process consisting exclusively of the application of these exercises

• all selections of grammar material, vocabulary, and reference materials are determined by the nature of these exercises

• all activities concentrate on the development of high CF (communicative focus), i.e., the automaticity of language based on communication
