Synopsis

Are you teaching a foreign language? Or are you considering to do so: you are still studying to become a teacher, or do you want to teach languages as a part-time job?You are in for a challenging career. The language learning industry is currently being revolutionized by technology and globalization. Students have ever-growing opportunities to learn languages, often even for free. The demands on language proficiency are ever higher; just saying Hello, Thank You and Goodbye is no longer enough. Foreign language speakers need to be able to spontaneously react to new situations and to produce their own sentences, not just to parrot course material.Then you are at the right place! This book gives the unfair edge over your competitors. Most of traditional classroom teaching is still clinging desparately to old educational monopolies and teaching traditions, hoping that the demand with is growing faster than students are runnin away to alternative learning platforms.In the book we will work on three levels:•Applying psychological research and insights;•Developing high-performance techniques that lead students to think and speak almost automatically;•Putting a quality management system into place that ensures quality standards and continuous improvement.About the author:Gerhard OhrbandBorn in 1979 in Hamburg, Germany, from a German father and a Chilean mother; M.A. in psychology from the University of Hamburg; since 2006 in the Republic of Moldova.
