Language coaching takes principles from disciplines like life coaching or career coaching and applies them to the language learning process.
It doesn’t matter which language you’re learning or what level you’re at because language coaching is not language teaching. I won’t tell you what you need to learn, but I can help you figure out what you want to learn and how to get there.
How does language coaching work?
Language coaching is learner-led and coach-guided. Perhaps you know where you want to go, but you’re not quite sure how to get there. Or maybe you’re learning a language, and you’re not quite sure where you’re headed.
Language coaching is a collaborative process of questions and reflection that will help you clarify your personal goals and motivation and then create an action plan to move you forward.
Who can language coaching help?
“I feel stuck and I’m not sure what to do next.”
“I’ve tried so many methods, but I don’t seem to be making progress.”
“My learning process feels really unfocused and scattered.”
“I want to learn this language, but I’m lacking motivation and discipline.”
If any of this sounds familiar, language coaching can help you uncover what really motivates you and then create a reasonable, practical plan of action to move you forward.
Language coaching is for learners who:
- Aren’t following a set curriculum from a school, teacher, or textbook but want a study plan to stay on track with their learning.
- Are stuck on a learning plateau and want to start making measurable progress again.
- Have lost motivation after reaching some goals and don’t want to lose what they’ve learned.
- Feel overwhelmed by all the free resources available and aren’t sure which methods match their learning style or how to use them effectively.
What happens in a language coaching session?
Coaching is a confidential space in which I’ll support you in sorting through your language learning issues and uncovering what works best for you.
It’s a cooperative process of questioning and reflecting to help you:
- identify your goals
- recognize where you’re stuck
- re-frame negative beliefs about your abilities
- define your options for growth
- make an action plan
Ultimately, we’ll work together to create a realistic plan so you’ll know what steps to take next and feel empowered to pursue your goals.
