Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all! While even experienced educators  can benefit by learning new methods to incorporate into their instruction, new educators in language teaching can learn how to design their curriculum using immersion and context resources to develop their methods right from the start!


Although the course is taught in English for instructors of  second languages, much of the course content, including video transcripts,  can be translated via AI for non-English speaking educators to benefit from learning these methods. The methods of immersion through context and lexical association can be used to train almost any target language.


Absolutely! This course is designed to train educators of foreign languages in both the educational and professional sectors. Most language teachers are either certified at the state level to teach in schools or universities, while some are certified to teach specifically secondary language (TOEFL, or FLE for example). However, in a corporate setting, some businesses  have localization specialists for translation and context adaptation for a specific foreign market. These localization managers may want to learn these methods to train their employees on certain language skills or technical vocabulary and phrases.
