Spaced repetition is a very strong learning technique.

With a new word: review its sound and meaning every thirty seconds or so for a few minutes.  It is very helpful to recall from memory before each review.  Remember all you can before you look.

Much formal language instruction is passive.  Students basically watch the teacher's show with perhaps some repetition.  There is no respect for student's time and knowledge since the focus is on the teacher's performance; parts of the teacher's show are unnecessary for some and insufficient for others.  Individual participation means almost nothing and progress is not visible.

Our approach to helping people learn is strongly influenced by Programmed learning, Writing to learn,  Input hypothesis, and Competency based learning.

Often people simply think of the MyAlly active learner process as one-way teaching.  In fact it is more interactive than most class based approaches. 

Here the learner has written five sentences:

We are seeking sales and marketing focused associates who mostly understand the Mom test already because it is part of who they are.

We respect individuals.  One of the ways we demonstrate this is to recognize and make reasonable efforts to accommodate differences.  People vary greatly in learning styles, levels of skills, interests etc.  Our learner focused approach, though far from perfect, accommodates individual differences much better than a traditional push all into one show style.
