ASIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL Launches Online Group Language Training This October

SYDNEY - Sept. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Language learning can deliver significant improvement in adult learner's attention level better than other types of courses, a study by the University of Edinburgh reveals. Multilingual adults, including those who learn a language in their adulthood, are found to multitask better than monolinguals. The benefits of language learning also extends to improved memory, better visual-spatial skills, and even heightened creativity.

Investing in foreign language skills further prepare employees with the language skills and cultural awareness to be ready for global assignments, gain international management experience, and develop their cultural dexterity.

Starting this October, Asian Language School will be offering online group lessons for adults wanting to learn Mandarin or Japanese. Classes are conducted in a small group of four guided by an experienced teacher. Lessons are delivered via Zoom, a webinar platform for education, and can be accessed through laptops, tablets, or smartphones. Beginner Level Mandarin Lessons (https://www.asianlanguageschool.com/course-chinese) and Japanese Lessons (https://www.asianlanguageschool.com/course-japanese) are offered every Tuesdays at 7 p.m. EDT for United States and every Thursdays at 7 p.m. AEST for Australia starting in early October 2016. Continuing levels are to be offered in 2017.

While the program's syllabus is comparable to the language program offered by higher educational institutions, it has the additional advantage of a small group which means that each learner gets to practice more with their language instructor which is especially ideal for honing learners' speaking and listening skills from the very start. The small group also enables the teacher to provide learning contents that are relevant to the group, be it in terms of their profession or personal interest. Lesson summary is provided after each class and authentic materials in addition to the textbook are used for teaching, making the learning process more efficient and effective.

The live group lessons are ideal for learners who want to interact with other people and learn better with others. Private group lessons are also available for those who want to arrange their own group, with the added advantage of flexible scheduling. The latter is better for organisations who are looking to develop their foreign language skills. Those who want to make the most of their online lessons can learn in a private class one-on-one where they can enjoy full customisation of their language course and get undivided attention from their instructor. Private class is an excellent option for learners who want to brush up on their existing language skills.

Contrary to popular belief, second language acquisition can be as successful at ages well beyond childhood. Adults have a larger capacity for learning new vocabularies and have a strong motivational factor in mastering a new language. But adults also have other priorities in life that makes language learning more challenging.

For that reason, it is important for adult learners to make the most of their classroom hours and have flexibility in those hours. Adults also need to learn what is relevant to them using real life scenarios and engaging contents.
