Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Learning is a complex process, especially when it comes to learning languages. This is because each language learning experience is unique since it is dependent on the situation, motivational factors, and the experiences of the learner. The very first language experience that any human being has is very early on in their childhood. Typically starting around the age of 1 or 2 years. The other languages they may come across during their lives and pick up from school, work, books, movies, or language classes will always be a much different experience than the language they had originally learned by being exposed to it and surrounded by it. Of course, some individuals are exposed to more than one language during early childhood and possess more than just...  [Read more]

Setting clear and achievable language learning goals is essential for students to stay motivated and track their progress. Encourage students to set specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. For example, a student can aim to improve their speaking skills by having a 10-minute conversation in English with a native speaker within three months. By setting SMART goals, students have a clear direction and can break down their larger language learning objectives into smaller, manageable tasks. Once students have set their language learning goals, it's crucial to help them develop effective strategies to achieve these goals. Encourage students to create a study schedule that includes a mix of activities such as vocabulary practice, grammar exercises, listening...  [Read more]
