Our 3 Steps to Communicative Learning Success:

1. Inspiration

  • The CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) approach is based on highlighting the importance of real and meaningful communication so that learning can truly be effective.
  • This doesn’t necessarily mean “no grammar” or exclusively “talking about your weekend” – it means finding YOUR key to what makes you tick and resonates with your learning style. 
  • Lessons will vary from person to person you will be communicating using your target language from day one, no matter your starting level. 
  • This is also why our entry test will give you a feedback on your current knowledge, as much as it will represent an opportunity for your teacher to get to know your passions, skills, ambitions and immediate practical needs.

2. Enthusiasm

  • Everyone’s personal school story in relation to learning a foreign language tends to be a very similar one, no matter when or where they graduated. 
  • Sadly, the outcome is often equally familiar: inability to understand a native and/or to speak fluently. 
  • This, in turn, leads to disappointment and lack of interest and enthusiasm for the challenge. 
  • During our lessons, having investigated what can really be instantly useful to students and also found those strategies that will fit their needs and learning styles, we will be supporting our learners’ enthusiasm for this new challenge.

3. Confidence

  • Learning Communicatively is a Trial & Error process.
  • It allows students to make peace with the idea that making mistakes is not just “ok”, but in fact a precondition to being able to learning a language.
  • This acknowledgement will in itself do wonders to your confidence when it comes to attempting new structures during conversations and this practice will in turn make you less and less self-conscious.
  • Learning communicatively is all about repetition and patience but these two will become second nature once we will have identified what makes you passionate and motivated as well as more confident when practicing your target language.

Customised Learning

1. We want our lessons to be built around you and to be relevant and useful 100% of the time.

2. This might sometime require changing plans at short notice and thanks to our digital resources we will be able to find what we need and to have it ready on our virtual whiteboard in no time!

Accessible and convenient

1. Online learning means that not only you will be able to study with a teacher based a long distance from where you live,

2. but also that, choosing our Language Exchange Sessions, you will be able to meet people from other countries.

3. Online Learning eliminates the need for expensive commuting and our booking system will make your organising experience easy & quick.

When and Where you want it

1. Learning using an Online platform offers you incredible flexibility. It allows you to change your schedule more easily and promotes a better work-study balance.

2. This is an important ingredient of our "Confidence" step because

3. becoming better at organising your time will also mean that you will start building better "positive routine" in relation to your language study plan.

 

” I am not good at languages” has to be one of the comments that I have been hearing from new students the most over the years.

It is time to sit back and relax, and let me help you re-build your confidence using the Communicative approach instead!
