The Two Hands Approach draws on methods from both the past and the present. Old terms are discarded or renamed, and all key elements are summarized in colorful and memorable charts that are as easy as 1-2-3 to remember. The main focus of this method is to describe and demonstrate the fundamental eleven forms that are used in good spoken and written English sentences.

With a secondary theme that emphasizes a fundamental awareness of the polarities of language as something that is worthy of recognition by both teachers and students alike, this Approach mainly provides an effective method to enable English students at a junior high, high school, or freshman college entry level of English proficiency to write English compositions that are grammatically correct and stylistically fluid, clear, and graceful. In addition, the Approach provides instructors with a drastically simplified and effective method for teaching the essentials of English grammar, in a short time and in tandem with the course in English composition. Altogether, the Approach consists of two books, several handfuls of posters, and an online database of sentences. The instructional part of the course can be taught in 30 to 40 hours of classroom time, but a follow-up course of an additional 30 to 40 hours is highly advisable.

As a foundational course in English Grammar and Composition, The Approach insures that within 40 to 80 hours of instruction, all English students will be comfortable and competent in both English Grammar and English composition, attaining a level of proficiency that most contemporary students do not achieve until the upper levels of college instruction.

This Approach will also kindle in all ESL/EFL/EAL students a lifetime interest in English, radically improve their writing and speaking abilities, and dramatically enhance their enjoyment of reading.
