I am excited about the fact that the consortium on multilingual education in India is stepping up activity by organising webinars. The first one is next week and will be on a very relevant topic for Indian classrooms, but also for many other countries: How do we capitalize on the fact that children often speak multiple languages simultaneously. As I know that the speaker, dr Sangsok Son has done extensive applied research on this, I am sure it will be a very informative session: Please join by registering yourself via the QR code below. #translanguaging #multilingualEducation #webinar

Anxious about speaking a foreign language? Understanding the impact of #selfesteem on language learning is key. Epstein (in Habrat, 2013) explains three levels of self-esteem: global, intermediate, and situational. - #Global self-esteem is a permanent trait. - #Intermediate self-esteem is linked to academic achievement. - #Situational self-esteem affects daily interactions and decision-making. In language learning, self-esteem is crucial. The "limited self" emerges when learners feel their language proficiency doesn't match their thoughts. Given that, teachers play a vital role in creating a supportive classroom environment that nurtures students' self-esteem. Constructive #feedback is essential for building students' confidence and promoting effective language learning. Educators must tailor the curriculum to address students' individual needs, fostering a positive and competitive atmosphere that encourages growth. Let's empower language learners by understanding the connection between self-esteem and language acquisition. #italiantutor #iambiligual #languagescience

At The Oriental Dialogue, we understand that stepping into the world of language learning can be daunting. Students often hesitate to take up new courses, unsure if they have an aptitude for language learning, especially when it comes to East Asian languages, which are reputed to be among the most difficult. But did you know? East Asian languages are actually among the easiest for Indians to pick up due to their similarities with our native languages! To help ease these concerns and showcase the true potential of language learning, we have been hosting free online demo sessions every month. Here's why: 🌟 Experience Before You Commit: We teach the first part of our syllabus during these sessions, giving you a taste of what it's like to learn live from a teacher, just like in a traditional classroom, but from the comfort of your home. 🌟 Overcome Initial Fears: These demo sessions help students conquer their initial fear of taking up a new challenge, showing them that learning a new language can be engaging and enjoyable. 🌟 Build Trust and Confidence: By providing a glimpse into our teaching methods and classroom experience, students gain confidence in their ability to learn and trust in us as their educators. 🌟 Flexible Learning Options: While our online sessions offer great convenience, we also welcome students to join our offline sessions at our Pune classroom in Baner for a more immersive experience. Join us for our next free demo session on the 30th June (Japanese at 10:30 AM, Korean at 12:30 PM and Mandarin Chinese at 3:00 PM) and embark on your language learning journey with The Oriental Dialogue. Break the barriers of hesitation and discover how easy and rewarding learning a new language can be!

Learning a new language goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. It opens doors to empathy, cultural understanding, and a genuine curiosity about others’ experiences. As language teachers, meeting students where they are means recognizing their backgrounds, experiences, and even the fears or hopes they bring with them. By creating a learning space where students feel seen and respected, we not only help them acquire a new language but also deepen their ability to connect with people from different walks of life. Language learning becomes a journey of both linguistic and human growth. #sprachportal_germany #sprachportal_turkey #sprachportal_gmbh #personalportal_gmbh #anerkennungsverfahren #pflegepersonal

Imagine stepping into a classroom where the language of instruction feels alien, yet you're expected to excel. That’s the reality for many students across India, and I’ve seen firsthand the determination it takes to overcome this hurdle. The hurdles: -Struggling to keep up with lectures in a second or even third language. -Limited access to academic resources in native languages. But here’s the silver lining: Language support programs. From English-speaking clubs to peer tutoring and even tech solutions like translation apps, these programs are bridging gaps and empowering students to thrive. I’ve met students who started with hesitation but graduated with confidence, their success stories inspiring others to dream big despite the odds. If you’re in a university or school that offers these programs, consider making them more accessible. Because language should never be a barrier to learning—it should be a bridge to opportunities. Share your thoughts: How can we support students facing language challenges? #LanguageInEducation #BreakingBarriers #StudentSuccess #university #internationaladmissions
