THE SPEAKATHON

Immersive Speaking Practice

You’ve been studying English for a long time, probably since you were a child. BUT ARE YOU FLUENT?

If I take a guess, you’re probably fine with understanding written documents. You can even answer emails. If you have any problem, Google is there to help you. So no worries. But when it’s time to speak, ouch… ?

How do I know? I have been hearing that for 15 years.

So what’s missing for you to feel comfortable speaking English? We all know the answer: PRACTICE

That is why Hackcent has decided to develop a new program to offer an innovative solution to this never-answered problem: THE SPEAKATHON

The Speakathon is the final step you never take.

You go to class. You study grammar and vocabulary.  But you never use them, you never put them into practice because you never really speak English. 

So in the end, you’re studying but you’re not fixing, you’re not learning.

 “STUDYING WITHOUT PRACTICING MEANS NOTHING”

WHAT TO EXPECT

It doesn’t look like an English course, it doesn’t sound like an English course but it is an English course. Just a totally different way of learning:

BOOK
EXERCISES
CLASSROOM
JUST 100% REAL PRACTICE

This class is nothing like you’ve experienced before.

Real-world projects replace books.
Practical activities replace exercises.
Tests become performances.
Corrections become feedback.

And that changes everything.

Maybe for the first time, you won’t study. You will learn.

HOW WE DO IT

Practice it till you make it 

COMPLETE IMMERSION

Right here in the center of Geneva, Hackcent takes you on a journey, speaking English only, for one night at the local English Pub.

Isn’t immersion the easiest way to learn?

You’re about to experience it…

AFTERWORK AMBIANCE

Study in an afterwork-like atmosphere enjoying drinks and snacks.

But don’t be fooled. You will be challenged and encouraged you to step out of your comfort zone.

The bar and drinks are just here to help...

EXPERIENTIAL METHOD

Hackent’s method is based on
“experiential learning” .

Since there are no books or exercises, you’ll spend the entire evening “doing”.

This is known as learning by doing.

GAME LEARNING

Welcome to the most entertaining English class you’ll ever attend!

All the activities proposed will be based on simulations, games, debates, role-plays...

Play to learn: what an amazing concept!
