3. Why Language Training?
Your company
may be losing
thousands of
dollars due to
inadequate language
skills.
"Deficient language skills and the assumption that
'everyone speaks English' are costing the UK
economy around £48bn a year, or 3.5% of GDP,
according to research by Professor James Foreman-
Peck for the Department of Business, Innovation and
Skills (BIS)."
Lucy Pawle, The Guardian

4. Why OCTB?
Learners are immersed
in the target language. They
use the language in a real
and practical speaking
context, see all of their
speech mistakes and
monitor their progress
lesson by lesson.
Speaking and listening to the target
language in a legitimate context is
crucial to successfully acquiring
competency in a language.

5. How Does It Work?
Your learners connect with
our teachers via
videoconferencing software, and
engage in conversation
about topics related to their
professional background. As the
learners speak, our teachers
type their responses.
Afterward, the learners see
their teachers' corrections in
real-time.
"Hello, my
name
João, and I
from the
Brazil."
Highlighted vocabulary: I am, you are, she is, he
is, we are, they are
Mispronounced Words: None!
Grammar Issues: Present Simple "To Be", Articles
After typing,
the teacher
corrects:

6. What Is the Advantage?
HR is able to easily
monitor the progress of
each learner, provide
continuous feedback,
and thereby motivate
learners or reallocate the
company investment from
one learner to another.
With our Engagement Tracker, your
company can easily and quickly assess the
performance of every single learner. Our
Engagement Composite Percentage (ECP)
is comprised of four different factors: 1)
Attended lessons, 2) Attendance frequency,
3) Completed homework and 4) Lesson
review. The higher the number, the better
the learner's performance.

7. What Is the Advantage?
HR can also track every
aspect of the learners'
performance in-depth.
This analysis can be used to
target problems during
the training, not just at the
end when the budget is
completely spent.

8. Why Does It Work?
Learners are able to
visualize and review their
own mistakes during and
after their lessons. Our
performance indicators hold
the learners
accountable, which
motivate them and ensure
engagement.
The learner dashboard, accessible via desktop
computers and mobile phones, gives all learners
the opportunity to review their lessons and
complete their homework.

9. Training Methods
OCTB offers both group
and individual
lessons. In group
lessons, no more than
three people participate.
In both lesson formats,
the learners are
immersed into the
target language.
The main differences between group and
individual lessons are cost and the amount
of time a learner has to speak. Unlike
traditional group speaking lessons, our
method allows learners to learn from their
fellow learners' mistakes, not copy them.
