We are researchers of language learning and teaching theories. We have adopted proficiency-based instruction method, the newest and most innovative method of foreign language instruction in current use. This method differs from older, more traditional teaching methods, in that it emphasizes personalized, student-directed instruction with the teacher as facilitator. We develop students%u2019 communicative skills by performing task-based activities, with topics based in Brazilian culture, familiarizing students with prospective real situations, rather than the instruction and discussion of grammar rules. The grammatical features of our language are introduced through an inductive approach, which encourages learners to draw conclusions about the underlying rules of the language from the many examples they see and practice. We believe that where many older instructional methods teach students to talk about the language, a proficiency-based approach teaches students to talk in the language.
