High grammar / low speaking ability

Dave is working at a language school and international high school in Canada. Additionally he runs his own website for students to “learn English online.” We’ll talk a bit about his website and also in general about website building/promotion later in the show. In part one of the podcast, we focus on some of Dave’s students’ problems and how he handles them. He has a good number of Japanese students and they have a strong knowledge of grammar but a very low speaking level. Mark and Dave offer a few ideas on how to improve speaking competence and fluency with these learners.
