Description: In this interactive talk, language practitioners will hear a much-needed clear definition of what language coaching is and an overview of differences and similarities to teaching. From both a theoretical and practical perspective, you will understand how to:
- boost efficiency and decrease stress,
- empower autonomous learners,
- increase the responsibility of learners,
- consider what the implications are for the practitioner and all major stakeholders.
With tools and techniques from A Comprehensive Language Coaching Handbook, you will learn to support the learner journey and re-discover learner goals and build on key milestones, thus the activities will open up exciting, fresh ideas for all interested in this emerging discipline.
If you are looking for a starting point on how to change the class climate through reframing communication with learners and wish to find innovative ways to see motivation and lesson-planning, this talk is not to be missed.
