 Do You Have What It Takes to Run Your Own Language Sessions?

 

Blog post line trans

There are so many incredibly talented women out there
who are capable of creating really fun, entertaining language experiences for children (or adults), BUT they just continually question whether or not they could actually do it.

And you know what?

It's so easy to solve this puzzle in under a minute.

There are only 3 little questions that you need to ask yourself.


Just three.


1.  Do you speak another language?

You do?  Well there you go; easy as pie you're a third of the way there.


2.  Do you enjoy being with children?

Also yes?  BAM!  How easy is this?


3.  Do you like the idea of having a Growth Mindset?

OK.  So this one may need a little expanding on  . . .

A growth mindset is simply the idea that you can feel inspired by, and fascinated with, constantly growing your skills and techniques, your experience, your mindset, your desires.


WHY?


So that every time you prepare for your language session, whether it be your first or your 100th, you are willing to try all your ideas as an experiment, just to see what the reaction is.

And from that reaction, you decide what you want to keep doing, what you'd like to tweak, and how you might make the game or activity even more exciting and engaging for the children.  So if you're all excited about a new game to try out, and it falls flat, you can happily evaluate what you did, how you did it, how you could change the way you said this or that or the other to get the children to respond in your language, or laugh, or to want to have a turn.

Same goes for if you're feeling really nervous.

Growth Mindset.

If you ticked YES to each of these three questions . . . THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.

The rest can be learned.

One step at a time.

As you go along.


So, ask yourself now . . . ARE YOU CAPABLE OF RUNNING YOUR OWN LANGUAGE SESSIONS?

Find your voice.  Be your voice. You are soooo capable.
