English Unplugged is a new approach to language learning that challenges the old reliance on textbooks, CDs and workbooks, which limit the scope of learning and often do not engage the learners. Materials that don’t interest learners not only don’t help them, they may actually prevent learning.
English Unplugged develops trainees’ ability to express their own ideas, exchange and adapt ideas with others, and manage interactions in English through a fully learner-centered approach that does not rely on external materials or fixed syllabus.
