Why we created Talk Time

Many children study English for years, but still:

• are afraid to speak;
• feel stressed about making mistakes;
• do not see real meaning in using the language.

Talk Time was created to bridge the gap between knowing English and actually speaking it.

We create conditions where a child:

• speaks calmly and without fear;
• feels heard and respected;
• understands why English matters in real life.

• are 7–12 years old;
• learn English as a foreign language;
• need confidence and positive speaking experience.
• We start with this age group intentionally, as it is especially sensitive to support, motivation and the experience of success.

The project is built around:

• short video exchanges between children from different countries;
• simple and meaningful discussion topics (school life, home, hobbies, favourite things);
• optional short live online meetings when the time difference allows.

In Talk Time there are:

• no grades or exams;
• no comparison between children;
• no pressure to perform.
• There is curiosity, real communication and a supportive atmosphere.

We deliberately focus on communication between children for whom English is not a native language.

This approach:

• reduces fear of mistakes;
• creates a sense of equality;
• shifts attention from correctness to meaning;
• helps children gain real speaking confidence.
• In this environment, children start speaking more freely and naturally.

Nextvill Educational Centre already has practical experience in international online communication with children from Turkey.

The topic of the meeting was simple and engaging — “My favourite toy.”

Children showed their toys, spoke about them in English, asked questions and listened to each other with genuine interest.

This experience showed us that:

• children become involved very quickly;
• tension disappears;
• English starts working as a communication tool;
• curiosity about other children’s lives grows naturally.
• This is exactly the format we are developing in Talk Time.

We will be happy to tell you more about the project format, answer your questions and discuss participation in Talk Time.
