How we Approach Language Learning
At Future Linguists, LLC we believe that learning a language should be exciting and fun! We also recognize that all learners will come with varying levels of second language learning experience. Learners will be supported with many language learning strategies and methods used for students to acquire language in a way that is accessible to them. Teachers will use visuals, gestures, props, body language, clear speech, repetition, and more techniques in order to help learners grow and increase their comprehension. Our little linguists will have multiple opportunities to listen, read, write, and speak in the target language throughout camp and we will meet them wherever they are in their proficiency level of the language they are exploring.
