Optimizing Time with Your Instructor

We want to highlight the critical role that effective time management and focused learning play in your progress. Especially for our part-time learners, each moment you spend with your instructor is a step towards mastering your new language. Here’s how we can make the most of this valuable time together.

Focused Interaction: The Heart of Learning

• Oral Expression and Technical Mastery: The live sessions with your instructor are the prime time to dive deep into oral expression, honing your pronunciation, and polishing your grammar. These components of language learning are best developed through direct interaction, where immediate feedback can transform your understanding and skills in real-time.

• The Value of Speaking Practice: Engaging in conversation, debate, and other spoken activities under the guidance of your instructor provides a unique opportunity to practice real-life communication. It's not just about correctness but also about gaining confidence and fluidity in your new language, essential for your role in the federal government.

• Immediate Feedback for Rapid Improvement: There’s a distinct advantage to practicing your technical language skills during these sessions. Immediate, personalized feedback from your instructor can pinpoint specific areas for improvement, making your learning process more efficient and effective.

Independent Study: Complementing Your Live Sessions

• Written Exercises: While oral skills are prioritized during your time with the instructor, written exercises play a crucial role in reinforcing your learning. We encourage you to engage with these assignments independently, where you can apply the concepts at your own pace, deepening your understanding and retention.

• Self-Directed Learning: Embracing the discipline of self-study not only complements the work done during your sessions but also empowers you to take charge of your learning journey. This approach ensures a comprehensive grasp of the language, from its structural foundations to its practical use in your professional life.

A Balanced Approach for Professional Proficiency

Our methodology is designed to balance direct instruction with independent study, ensuring you develop a well-rounded proficiency in your new language. By focusing our live sessions on interactive, speaking-intensive activities, and supporting your independent study with structured written exercises, we aim to equip you with the language skills needed to excel in your position within the federal government.

Together, we can optimize your learning experience, making every session count towards achieving not just fluency but confidence in using your second language in your professional environment. Let’s embrace this journey with enthusiasm and dedication, paving the way for success in your career and beyond.
