Want to offer a language course for your staff and don’t know which model to adopt? Understand the benefits of a personalized English course.
English is the most widely spoken language globally: between native and non-native speakers, more than 1.2 billion people speak it around the world. Despite this, finding professionals who have a command of the language in Brazil remains a challenging endeavor; research shows that only 5% of the Brazilian population speaks English, and only 1% is actually fluent in it.
For companies that rely on English-speaking employees, offering an in-house personalized English course may be their best option. In this article, we list some of the advantages of this type of investment. Check it out!
Why choose a personalized English course for your team?
If you are still not sure about the best approach to training your employees in a new language, find out why the personalized model is your best option:
Methodology aligned with individual learning
A personalized English course sets out a lesson plan that takes into account each learner’s personal learning journey.
Regardless of their level of knowledge, every individual has a specific learning pace, as well as specific interests and needs. For a student to make real progress, the course needs to be tailored to each learner’s expectations.
One way to do this is through private classes taught by trained teachers who can build the content of each lesson with a focus on the specifics of each student.
Personalized goals focusing on relevant topics
Another advantage of offering a personalized English course is being sure that the learner’s areas of interest will be identified and explored.
This aspect relates to each individual’s personal and professional ambitions, and even their hobbies, too. Because the content of a personalized course considers each person’s professional field, it is designed to cover topics that are useful in daily operations, which in turn brings practical results for the company that is investing in employee training.
Increased participation in lessons
A personalized English course puts the learner at the center of his or her own learning experience, thus increasing class engagement and participation―one of the factors reinforced by andragogy.
After all, class topics relate to personal and professional aspirations, and are approached in a manner aligned with the learner’s interests and needs, while being mindful of their learning pace. In this way, the ROI made on each employee becomes evident to the company.
Learning that is more natural compared to other methods
If we consider the above factors, a personalized English course takes place naturally and, unlike traditional options, it does not get boring―learners enjoy it more!
Since the method considers individual interests and respects the learning pace of each learner, it is not seen as an obligation. As a result, the employee becomes more interested in learning a foreign language and feels valued within the organization, which helps to boost professional engagement.
