Why challenge is goodfor building language. Speakout uses authentic material that engages and supports students, and helps build their confidence indealing with real spoken English. Learning a language is difficult, particularly understanding fast spoken English, and this is one of Speakout's strengths.

Both teachers and students appreciate the challenge of using authentic video, audio and texts with students saying that they feel better prepared for dealing with the real world than they would if they only had exposure to graded material. At the same time, there is some variety in the level of difficulty of texts within each unit, differenciating learning to meet students individual needs.

Speakout's main focus is to get students talking, and teachers who use Speakout comment that their students talk a lot during lessons because the course covers topics that they genuinely want to discuss, and gives the mall the language they need to express their own ideas and opinions.
