Language Learning Coaching

Language learning coaching offers structured help to reflect upon your learning.

Together with you coach you can:

• decide upon subject matter,
• fix your objectives,
• identify which resources are available
• develop an action plan
• evaluate your results at the end of the project.
  

Forms of Counselling / Coaching

• one-to-one counselling/coaching (both course-linked and course-independent)
• counselling for individual languages
• Tandem learning coaching for face-to-face and distance tandem partnerships
• counselling as an accompaniment to intensive tandem courses
• moderated group discussions (exchange of experience among tandem learners)
• counselling as an element of teaching.

In order to meet the high demand for learning counselling/coaching, the training course for learning counselors offered as part of the Master programme by the Seminar für Sprachlehrforschung has been integrated into the further development of this field by the ZFA. Students trained as learning counselors assume this role in practice under the supervision of the ZFA. The ZFA offers attractive employment opportunities to graduates from the Seminar für Sprachlehrforschung.
