,
If you know someone that might want to expand their World Language Instruction or needs help finding a teacher for their World Language program please share this email with them.
We love what we do at the World of Learning Institute and adding great Virtual Learning Facilitators to our team is always so exciting. By expanding our team we can provide more options, such as Elementary experiences and languages like Arabic and Japanese. We are happy to introduce Melanie Madigow (Arabic), Lucy Thiboutot (Arabic and French) and Vivi Warner (Mandarin Chinese) as part of our team. Find our more about our teachers HERE.
Throughout our summer learning we support our new and experienced facilitators as they get courses updated, engage with new information, apply new ideas to lessons, and encourage collaboration with our team and their peers. As we get ready for the 2021 - 22 School year we are excited to help these new facilitators learn from our seasoned team - working to create engaging live sessions, slides, games, and activities that support getting learners speaking. Check out this quick video about how to use drawing tools to engage learners!
We offer Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Elementary Spanish and MS Exploratory Courses, in addition to Spanish, French, German and Latin. It is TIME to think about languages for your school next year - contact Pat to get your students scheduled. pmulroy@worldoflearninginstitute.com
Learning a new language can be so much fun when you are connected to your learning facilitator. You can tell by this short video how enthusiastic our folks are. Can you see the light in their eyes? It is one of the reasons our students enjoy learning a language so much.
In our blog about Virtual World Language Instruction you can check out how we counter the MYTHS! with 5 Facts about virtual World Language Instruction.
FACT #1: Virtual Instruction can be engaging.
Myth: Virtual instruction is not engaging for students.
Virtual instruction can and should be engaging. At the World of Learning Institute, our instructors are trained in pedagogy using technology tools to ensure that live sessions are authentic, relevant, AND engaging. Our teachers do not stand and deliver lectures, our learners are actively participating, doing, and learning. Acquisition of a language comes much easier when learners are engaged.
