The KINETIK Method focuses on effectively anchoring English language teaching course content, making it more engaging and memorable (using special gestures and touch). As a bonus, it also enhances pronunciation intelligibility!  A customizable system that builds better pronunciation correction and growth in the classroom, one one or two-week module at a time, the KINETIK Method is featured in both the Acton Haptic English Fluency Training Courses (HFT) for Students and the Certification Course for Instructors. (KINETIK Method Instructors Certificate Course - KMICC)

What are the Modules? Each of the 11, Modules unpack one MT3, or Movement-Tone-Touch Technique. The MT3 “tour” linked here is actually an excerpt from the final module of the KMICC course where I review most of the MT3s in the system. It will give you a rough idea of what the MT3s are about. In the KMICC system you are trained not just in the MT3s but how to integrate each of them into course content to enhance memory, expressiveness, emphasis, confidence - - - and pronunciation!
