Note that the methods of both public schools and tutors can vary a lot - both by country and even individually. There are language schools and tutors, for example, that use language acquisition methods. They’re placed in the matrix as they are commonly thought of without taking the exceptions into account.

Explanations
- Output focused - the focus of the app is on speaking and writing through conscious learning
- Input focused - the focus of the app is on reading and listening (to comprehensible input) and learning it subconsciously
- Forced curriculum - the learner doesn’t get to choose what to study, they are forced to follow a rigid curriculum (often in a fixed order)
- Made-up content - any kind of content that is not the natural part of daily life of native speakers (for example, a lesson on “How to visit a museum?” could be theoretically be real situation but it reality it is made up if it is completely detached from actually being in a museum in the given moment)
- Free choice - the learner is able to decide for themselves which kind of content to study from and without being forced into a fixed sequence of order
- Real content - content that the native speakers themselves consumes (this could be both fiction or non-fiction)
