We like this quote about this new initiative... They are encouraging people to "Put down their pens and pick up their language" 

Have a look at this link for more information about 'No Pens Day Wednesday' on 28th September: www.hello.org.uk/get-involved/no-pens-day-wednesday.aspx

We do this at Oxbridge with great results. The focus of our classes is on listening and speaking.

What do you think? Is this a useful way to teach?
