Learning Approach
GLN makes learning enjoyable and effective – we create a comfortable environment where students and teachers collaborate as learning partners and interact with the target language and culture. This experience builds students’ confidence and competence to communicate with others in meaningful and appropriate ways, while developing teachers as educators and leaders. We have several goals for our GLN community:
We strive to achieve these goals by providing an engaging and practical curriculum, dedicated teachers, and affordable and accessible classes. Read more about our methodology and classroom environment.
GLN’s 7 C’s
We have adapted our language learning model (see figure below) from ACTFL’s Five C’s of Foreign Language Education: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. However, our model incorporates Competence, replaces Comparisons with Collaboration, and culminates with Confidence, which is the heart of GLN’s language learning philosophy and approach.
