The next generation of corporate language learning

Written by Charlotte Speecke | Oct 23, 2024 8:36:19 AM

In today's fast-paced world, traditional language training methods are no longer sufficient to meet the dynamic needs of organisations and employees. Modern professionals are pressed for time, making lengthy 32-hour language courses impractical. 

What they truly require is a support solution that seamlessly integrates with their workflow, offering on-demand coaching, training or support whenever they need it. 

 

Limitations of traditional language training.

Today, professionals already have a huge amount of language solutions at their disposal: individual courses, group training, face-to-face or virtual training, e-learning, and various apps. 

While these options may seem flexible, they come with their limitations:

  • Single teacher approach
    Confining learning to one instructor limits exposure to different teaching styles and accents.

  • Sequential language learning
    Focusing on one language at a time may not align with the diverse linguistic needs of a modern workforce.

  • Scheduling constraints
    Balancing the availability of busy trainees and trainers can be a logistical challenge, often leading to infrequent sessions. Sessions mostly take place once a week, which means you only have one moment per week to ask for help.

  • Motivation and alignment
    When the chosen language solution doesn't align with a learner's preferences, it can impact motivation and hinder progress.

  • Financial limitations
    In a perfect world every trainee could have his own individual courses, tailored 100%. But it comes with a cost so companies have to makes choices and to prioritize.
