A Note to Giveaway Winners & A Sneak Peek at What’s Next

It’s been almost a month since the first Goodreads giveaway ended, and I’d like to thank everyone who participated and received a copy of The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time (LTT) Model.

If you’ve finished reading the book — especially Chapters 2 to 5, which form the core of the model — I would be truly grateful for your feedback. These chapters lay out the importance of speaking, the structure of the LTT Model, and how to apply it in real classroom settings.

I’m also excited to share that I’ve already started working on a follow-up book, tentatively titled: "Activities Based on the 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model – For A2 Level Beginners."

This upcoming book will include 30 to 50 ready-to-use speaking lessons, designed for busy teachers who want to implement the model directly without revisiting all the theory.

Your suggestions and feedback will help me choose the most relevant lesson topics — especially for educators looking to create fast-paced, high-engagement speaking classes.
Thank you again for your support — I truly appreciate your time and thoughts!

Warm regards,
Kami Mahmud

The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model is Now on Kindle Unlimited!

Great news! My book, The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model, is now available on Kindle Unlimited. You can view it over there. I am not pretty sure how it works, but it should be free or with a minimal cost.

This is worth mentioning that this book is designed for English language teachers and educators only who consider speaking as the heart of the class and the most important skill which learners should possess.

At the same time, this book acknowledges the role of digital technology such as digital dictionaries, telephonic dictionaries, and AI for learners. It gives learners freedom to explore and removes hurdles, which ultimately leads to more speaking confidence.

However, if you consider that traditional teaching methods with more teacher-focused approaches are better for learners, then I would suggest that this book isn’t for them.The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time Model: Revolutionizing English Speaking Practice

Free ESL Lesson Downloads for A2 Learners – Feedback Welcome

Hi everyone, The 45-Minute Learner Talk Time (LTT) Model, is now available on Kindle Unlimited, so you can read it for free (or with minimal cost if you're not subscribed).

I know that new and busy teachers often want something they can apply right away — not just theory. That’s why I’m now working on two follow-up books for A2-level learners:
• One for offline (in-person) classes
• One for online classes (because the teaching dynamics are completely different)

Creating lesson plans for offline use is pretty straightforward with the LTT model — it’s hands-on and interactive by nature. But online teaching is a different beast. In China, I’ve seen that downloadable lessons work really well when using platforms like Tencent Meeting, so I’m adapting my content accordingly.

If you’re teaching A2 students online or offline, here’s a free sample lesson (one for each format) based on the model:

Feel free to use them, and if you do, I’d really appreciate hearing how they worked for you. I’d love to acknowledge contributors by name in the next book — especially those who offer feedback that helps make the content better for teachers worldwide.
Thanks in advance — your insight matters!
