We had the honor to host a thought-provoking presentation by Scott Thornbury, "Our language is different", which explored linguistic diversity and how we should shape our teaching strategies. It challenged traditional methods and offered innovative solutions for language education. 💡 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ All languages are complex to some degree: It's difficulty on learning depends on multiple factors such as lexicon, phonological system, writing system, and cultural distance. 2️⃣ Formulaic sequences matter: Memorizing high-frequency phrases ("chunks") accelerates fluency and provides a scaffold for grammar acquisition. 3️⃣ Focus on practical use: Teach grammar selectively and prioritize essential vocabulary that learners will use in real-life communication. 4️⃣ Reward communication over perfection: Learners thrive when encouraged to speak, even with errors—building confidence and engagement. 5️⃣ Enthusiasm is contagious: A teacher’s passion for the target language creates an inspiring, motivating environment for students. 💡 Regardless of the language you teach, the principles of prioritizing communication, fostering enthusiasm, and focusing on practical utility are universal.

Ola showed us how to rewrite these narratives to unlock our potential. 😥The 2-fold problem: 1️⃣Mindset: Influenced by personal stories, societal norms, and past experiences. 2️⃣Clarity: Knowing what to offer, how to sell, and staying composed during the process. 😄The solution: A mindset shift and getting clarity 1️⃣A CBT-based approach to thought patterns reminding us to replace negativity with actionable, positive strategies. 2️⃣Her rocket system offers a clear framework for success: creating an achievable plan, aligning offers with vision and goals, mastering sales, and creating financial consistency. 📚 If you're ready to shift your mindset to an entrepreneurial one, become a Preply tutor!
