Think your memory isn't good enough to learn a language? Think again, and try these 10 memory-boosting tips that will help you learn a language faster and retain it longer.
Making mistakes is an integral part of learning a language, but only if they are productive mistakes. Mangling a verb tense or using the wrong noun gender provides a learning opportunity. More serious mistakes, like using the wrong materials or burning yourself out, on the other hand, can be detrimental. Find out which mistakes haunt language learners, and how you can avoid them!
Learning a language is tough. Learning multiple languages is, well, tougher. But, for the dedicated, organized language learner, it’s not impossible. Here are 5 actionable tips to help you balance multiple languages simultaneously.
Our children will inherit a far more diverse and interconnected world than the one we live in today. As parents, we are responsible for equipping our children with the traits and skills required to succeed in such a globalized world. Raising global citizens is not only for families with big travel budgets. Here are 9 ways to raise your children to be globally-minded from the comfort of your own home.
Speaking in a foreign language can be a challenge in and of itself—giving a presentation in a foreign language makes that challenge even more…. well, challenging. Whether you’re presenting to your classmates, your co-workers, or your community, you’ll want to practice a little harder than normal. These tips will help you perfect your presentation, leaving minds blown rather than tongues tied.
7 Ways to Blend in with Native Speakers (Even if You Don't Sound Like One Yet)Transparent Language, Inc.
Many language learners dream of being mistaken for a local. For most, that means working tirelessly to sound like a native speaker. But, when it comes to blending in with a new country and culture, it’s not just about your accent. There are plenty of ways to act like a native speaker, even if you don’t quite sound like one yet.
Why Most Fail in Language Learning & How You Can SucceedJohn Fotheringham
If an adult fails to learn a foreign language (and most do), most of us assume they simply don’t study hard enough or just aren’t good at languages. It’s certainly true that some learners are lazy, and given the same methods, certain folks tend to pick up languages faster than others. But neither of these is the real issue; both are but symptoms of the underlying problem: 1) crappy methods, 2) crappy materials, and 3) crappy attitudes.

From Communication to Conversations: Expanding Language Development in the E...milfamln
Children’s language use grows dramatically throughout the toddler and preschool years. Words and phrases expand daily and children begin to form sentences that go beyond sharing their preferences. Their speech sounds continue to develop and include both predictable, and sometimes adorable, error patterns. Pre-literacy skills also emerge during this developmental window and lay the foundation for academic success as children approach elementary school. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss decontextualized language, early developing morphemes, timelines for phonological processes, and preliteracy achievements during the preschool years as well as when to worry that a child’s speech and language doesn’t seem to be progressing as expected.
Tips for Getting Your Colleagues to Adopt Universal Design for Learning3Play Media
When most people in higher education hear the phrase “universal design for learning," they think about students with physical disabilities and the accommodations we provide to them in order to help them meet course outcomes.
To help make educational materials and practices inclusive for all learners, this interactive webinar session radically reflects on how faculty members and course designers can adopt Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Presented by Thomas Tobin, author and speaker on quality in distance education, this session will help broaden the focus of UDL beyond learners with disabilities and toward a larger ease-of-use/general inclusion framework.
This presentation will cover:
How accommodations and UDL are very different
What you can do today, within a week, and within a month to reach out to your biggest segment of learners—people on their mobile devices
How you can incorporate UDL elements into your courses
How you can design and retrofit existing course components using UDL principles
How to implement UDL across campus to increase persistence, retention, and satisfaction for all learners
Why Words Matter (Part 2): 5 Things You Should Know About Teaching Vocabulary...Transparent Language, Inc.
For beginning language learners, building vocabulary breadth (how many words they know) has been shown to be the single most important factor in accelerating and maximizing proficiency gains. But as learners progress into advanced levels of proficiency, they encounter more and more diverse contexts, and the depth of their vocabulary knowledge is tested. It’s at these levels that, even as learners continue to expand the breadth of their vocabulary knowledge, they should develop active strategies for expanding the depth of their knowledge about the words they’ve already “learned”. In this webinar, we will explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in advanced language learners.
Why Words Matter: 5 Things You Should Know About Teaching Vocabulary to Begin...Transparent Language, Inc.
Which is more important for beginning language learners – grammar or vocabulary? How many words does a language learner need to know in order to attain a proficiency level of CEFR A1 (ACTFL Novice High)? And what about levels A2 (Intermediate Mid) or B1 (Advanced Low)? Obviously, the more words a learner knows, the better; a vocabulary size of 1,000 words is better than 100 words, and 2,000 words is better than 1,000 words. But which 2,000 words? Is there a preferred order of acquisition that will maximize proficiency gains – or will any 2,000 words do?
In this webinar, we explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in beginning and intermediate language learners. You may be surprised at what you discover!
(Originally presented by Paul Tucker on May 10, 2018)
U.S. policymakers and administrators have long touted better STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) as a way to bridge achievement gaps and spark innovation. But STEM should not be promoted at the expense of other subjects, particularly foreign languages.
2016 felt pretty bleak, but 2017 is a chance to turn things around. We think languages can play a big part in that, from better educational outcomes and increased empathy to international communication skills and business opportunities.
It seems like most people are ready to say good riddance to 2016, but we’ve actually had a memorable year here at Transparent Language! Our engineers have been cranking out new features, our linguists continue to fill our products with new languages and courses, and our sales folks have partnered with more organizations, schools, and libraries than ever. Before we look forward to 2017, let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting in 2016.
Technology is not making libraries obsolete, it's making them more necessary. If you're only of the 40% of American who don't have or use their library card, it's time to change that!
In 2015, the US Census Bureau released its more detailed set of data covering the hundreds of languages spoken in homes throughout the United States. In this presentation, we'll take a look at that data.
Create a Communicative Language Classroom: Designing Reading and Writing Act...Transparent Language, Inc.
Language teachers understand that 21st century students must be able to communicate effectively with diverse people from many different cultures. In order to meet this challenge, teachers should emphasize communicative skills when instructing foreign languages. Students are required not only to understand, but also to produce language in oral and written forms. This webinar series will cover how to plan instructional activities that align with the three ACTFL modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational), as they relate to listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
In this session, we'll discuss reading and writing activities.
Studies have shown that when it comes to learning foreign languages, combining technology and human instruction is more powerful than either computer learning or human instruction alone. The flipped classroom is an exciting new methodology in education where students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through communicative activities and task-based strategies. The result is a more rewarding classroom experience, with more time spent actively engaging in the language, rather than passively listening.
This presentation, given at the 2015 FLEAT Conference at Harvard University, will teach you how to flip your class and enjoy the wealth of benefits to both teacher and student alike.

We live in a digital world that allows our students to access information 24/7. Why not use that to your advantage by teaching your students asynchronously?
Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching approach that employs a wide variety of web, mobile, and cloud-based tools outside of regular school hours, thus removing the constraints of time and place. The tools at your disposal are many: social media, mobile applications, collaborative communication, learning objects, blogs, and beyond.
In this webinar, we will explore the benefits and risks in asynchronous teaching, as well as the positive impact it can have on students’ lives. The webinar will also include details on how to integrate these tools into any language-learning curricula.
The benefits of learning a foreign language should
speak for themselves. Yet many people view languages as a luxury subject and too often school districts are cutting language classes due to budgetary restraints.
If language programs are on the chopping block in your school system, it’s time to sell your district on languages.
Good grammar is a vital skill for advanced language proficiency: Knowing how words work and how they fit together is critical for putting foreign words to proper use. The need to learn grammar is always going to be part of language learning, and should not be neglected. Even when using an approach that emphasizes the acquisition of vocabulary, ways can and should be found to incorporate grammar into the learning process. The right strategies and technologies can overcome any objections about possible boredom or difficulty by making grammar learning appealing, efficient, and effective. This webinar explains the methodology of Lexical Functional Grammar and demonstrate how to integrate it into lesson planning.
Social Media has been hailed as the silver bullet of grassroots marketing. Circumvent aging advertisement models and talk directly to your community? The only cost is your time? Fabulous! It can be like that, but it takes some very specific strategy to achieve that kind of success. At Transparent Language, we've built our Social Media following to nearly 3 million fans on Facebook alone. Our blogs receive over 200,000 visitors each month, and our YouTube videos have been viewed more than 2 million times. And we built most of it, not with a large team or budget, but with a single dedicated staff member. Truly grassroots.
The lessons we've learned along the way can benefit our library clients, too. In this slide deck, a follow-up to @LorienGreen's presentation at NELA 2014, we present our "secret sauce".
Education Webinar Series: Creating ACTFL-Aligned, Authentic Lessons for Highe...Transparent Language, Inc.
Transparent Language is proud to host a variety of FREE webinars aimed at educating teachers on how they can effectively teach languages with technology.
Teaching higher-level language learners requires a lot of planning time and creativity. After all, don’t all teachers want authentic, engaging lessons that continue to help their students achieve higher language skills? Text books are often antiquated and lack real-time culture. Teachers’ daily schedules are full, leaving little time to devote to creating new, quality lessons for higher-level language learners. This webinar will focus on creating real-time, engaging lessons at all levels based on the ACTFL proficiency scale.

Fluency in a foreign language is the hottest job skill right now, and for good reason. Every employer can benefit from hiring bilingual employees, as well as investing in the language skills of its existing, monolingual employees. Here's 5 good reasons why.
Technology has made its way into the classroom in a big way, leading to new teaching methods including blended learning and flipped classrooms. But technology should be incorporated in to the language classroom strategically to allow both the teacher and the technology to do what they each do best.
Dogs may be man’s best friend, but even your pooch knows the internet is an amazing resource. Transparent Language gives just six of the countless reasons why the internet is a language learner's best friend.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
