Language Learning Advice
Language learning advice at the Language Centre’s Self-Access Language Learning Centre
Our language learning approach focuses on encouraging and supporting learners on their journey towards becoming autonomous language learners. We would like to encourage you, as a learner, to decide yourself on what support you need to maximise your learning and what you would ultimately like to achieve.
Basically, you can choose between advice on specific steps for learning a foreign language and coaching which focuses more on reflecting on your own learning and exploring the resources available to you.
Our learning advisors have many years experience as language teachers and language learning specialists and have also received training in coaching techniques, meaning that they can switch ad hoc from one scenario to the other.

Language learning coaching
Language learning coaching helps you reflect on your own learning process, to think about what motivates you and to set realistic goals, in other words to take conscious and autonomous decisions concerning which methods are best suited to your learning habits on the basis of intense discussions and reflections. Discover which resources are available to you and learn to evaluate and adapt your own approach step by step.
Discover your possibilities and find your own preferred way to learn.
