German Language Training for Professionals and Executives:
Efficiency comes first!
Quality of language training for corporate clients is above all a question
of efficiency. - At the Language Guesthouse therefore efficiency comes first.
And nothing but the best will do for your company and your employees.
- Guests at the Language Guesthouse study the German language where it
is spoken and where they can experience authentic Germany.
- They obtain a daily language training of several hours, adapted to their
personal level of studies and type of learning. It follows a communicative
concept of teaching based on consolidated findings of teaching psychology
and typical situations in daily and business life.
- Some of the lessons may be dedicated to the preoccupation with subject-specific
topics and vocabulary on business, technology, science or medicine. In
accordance with the client company-own (printed, audio, video) material
may be used.
- Studying at the Language Guesthouse, that means full immersion into
the German language: Meals and creative/ cultural activities together
with the language trainer challenge the learner to apply and practice
his language skills in real communication. The Language Guesthouse provides
a German-speaking setting, in which the guest is encouraged to speak German
by natural impulse. The language trainer takes care of an appropriate
complexity of language and topics, according to the learner’s command
of language.
- Participation in sports, culture or leisure time activities together
with locals faces the learner to the variety of actual spoken language
in Germany: i.e. fast or burring speech, region-typical accent or dialect.
- At the same time he experiences plenty of culture-typical situations,
which generate new topics of conversation and raise intercultural awareness.
- Intercultural topics are part of any professional language training.
For the field of business communication a specific intercultural training
is offered at the Language Guesthouse.
Why should you choose the Language Guesthouse? -
Our Credit Points
It's the combination of individual adaption and a variety of different
learning and training situations, what makes our concept so unique and efficient.
- Already after their first week of language training our guests perceive
a noticeable improvement of their communicative skills. A student of previous
basic level (A2) usually gains by a 2 weeks intensive training a considerable
progress in the fields of listening comprehension and oral expression,
which are immediately convertible on his job. A language training of 3
or 4 weeks results in an improvement of language skills, which often is
not achieved in many months of language tuition. Gain of time as well
as gain of language proficiency will turn out to be your company's immediate
benefit.
- Adult learners need formal language instruction, because they usually
don't acquire linguistic and grammmar structures by intuition. In order
to achieve a fluent mastery of language and comprehension of authentic
speech (fast, inarticulate, dialect), they also need intensive listening
and speaking practice in authentic communication. - which is normally
not provided by language trainings. At the Language Guesthouse this kind
of conversation training is a crucial part of the training concept.
- The location of the Language Guesthouse in a small town in the attractive
Breisgau region and possibly several hundred kilometres from your next
companiy's base might seem to you a disadvantage. In fact it is an advantage!
- It has proved its worth that students at the Language Guesthouse - released
from professional and family duties - are free to concentrate on the acquisition
of language. This is one of the secrets responsible for their fast progress.
- A language training of 2 to 4 weeks duration in most cases will not
substitute a classical in-company training - but it will be the perfect
complement, for besides a fast progress it brings about a mighty boost
of motivation, which often has an ongoing effect long after the training
is over.
- A course at the Language Guesthouse rewards committed members of your
staff. It increases their loyality towards the company, stimulates them
to show even higher and better performance: another profit, which - although
not countable - you will appreciate.
- Relocations of employees from an international to a German location
are common practice in your company? - Help your expatriate employee to
find an easier start in Germany by sending him or her to a language and
intercultural training at the Language Guesthouse. It will take him shorter
to understand and speak fluent German and to familiarise himself with
his job.
