How to apply LinearThinking method to master English faster

LinearThinking is an educational strategy that simplifies learning by structuring information logically.

Unlike traditional methods that present language rules and vocabulary piecemeal, it ensures each new piece of information or block of knowledge is built on the previous one.

This cumulative approach helps learners develop a coherent understanding of the language, making it easier to apply their knowledge in practical situations.

LinearThinking can be applied to the four core skills.

For example, in reading, it can help reduce learners' dependence on complex vocabulary.

Learners don't need to understand every word in a sentence to get its main idea.

LinearThinking will help learners infer the meanings of unfamiliar words from the context.

In addition, learners can also manage to understand long and complex sentences.

Linearthinking breaks down sentences into their main and auxiliary parts, making it easier to identify the essential elements and simplify the overall structure.

In writing, it helps build basic sentences.

LinearThinking starts with the basics, helping learners differentiate between types of words and understand their functions.

It guides them in combining these elements to form correct sentences, progressing from simple to complex structures.

Student progress can be elevated from writing a correct sentence to writing two correct sentences in a row and then writing a correct paragraph.

It also helps to develop ideas in writing. Even with limited knowledge, learners can develop logical ideas by breaking down abstract problems into familiar, concrete ones, making it easier to generate ideas.

With clear ideas, learners only need a simple, specific vocabulary to express them effectively.

For speaking, LinearThinking provides sentence structures for different types of questions, categorized by function (e.g., benefits, drawbacks, comparisons).

It also encourages "Thinking in English," using simple vocabulary to express more complex ideas.

Additionally, this method also brings some similar benefits from writing into speaking.

First, students progress from saying one correct sentence to saying two correct sentences in a row, and then speaking a proper paragraph in order to deliver a correct speech.

Besides this, clarifying the issue helps students come up with specific, simple ideas. LinearThinking offers tools for idea development: cause, effect, explanation, example, and story...

It also helps maximize vocabulary use with simple, specific ideas that don’t require advanced vocabulary. Even a combination of basic words can effectively convey the message.

In listening, there are three levels of learners. A beginner struggles to catch words. Intermediate understands words but lacks vocabulary or mispronounces. Advanced catches keywords but struggles to process and summarize the information.

LinearThinking offers a clear learning path and exercises tailored to each level. It includes online practice systems and pre-designed exercises for every level.

This method helps learners grasp the main idea of a listening passage without needing to understand every word, significantly reducing the time and effort required to improve listening skills compared to other areas.

Numerous students have credited the LinearThinking method for their academic success, highlighting its effectiveness in simplifying complex concepts.

This approach has significantly enhanced their English proficiency, enabling them to achieve higher scores in IELTS exams.
