Brain Friendly Grammar Bootcamp with demonstration

Grammar – most learners hate it! Brain friendly grammar distils neuroscience and professional coaching into a simple spoken conversation, harnessing the ideal conditions for absorbing the mechanics of language. In this way, grammar is discussed and explored with the learner in a calm brain friendly conversation. By using the PACT PQC coaching model, language educators will totally transform grammar.

This webinar will focus on how to shift grammar conversations by using a coaching model and integrating principles from neuroscience and neuropsychology. The main focus is how to get learners to be curious and to scaffold from previous knowledge as well as bringing then to understand the reasons for grammar and be able to use and apply it instantly.The conversation focuses on constant interaction between coach and coachee and no more long explanations about grammar, but rather getting the coachee to create bigger pictures and then break down and build up the grammar into bitesize chunks.

We will look at creating a breakdown which can then be used as the“roadmap” through the conversation and then how to deliver this roadmap using the PACT PQC model, which stands for Placement, Assessment, Conversation,Teach, Powerful Questions and Clarification. Each part of the model will be explained and the participants will try out and practise this with an example grammar area. The model focuses on interaction, enjoyment and non-stressful learning, allowing learners to feel supported, listened to and guided at all times. No two grammar conversations will be the same, as each learner will be different and the coach will always be adapting to the individual or group he/she is working with each time.

NeuroHeart - Enhancing the Heart-Brain Connection when Learning and Teaching!

Did you know that in 1991 Dr. Armour discovered that the heart has its “little brain” or “intrinsic cardiac nervous system.” This “heart brain” is composed of approximately 40,000 neurons similar to those in the brain. In addition, the heart communicates with the brain neurologically, biochemically, biophysically, and energetically. The vagus nerve carries information from the heart and other internal organs to the brain.

The heart is not just a pump. In fact, the heart sends more signals to the brain than vice versa.

In this webinar we will explain this heart-brain connection and how this impacts our teaching. Teaching with enhanced compassion and sensitivity is key for learners of today and especially post-pandemic! Increasing our capacity to listen and understand the deeper underlying issues and questions for language learners is key, not only to build trust and comprehension but also to be able to diagnose language difficulties or areas to develop and adapt to each and every learner and his/her differences in learning. Developing a sixth sense to connect with clients on a deeper emotional level will lead to a more profound learning experience.

Learner Autonomy and Adapting Activities to Learners!

From Self-Determination Theory to Intentional Change Theory, we will track the trajectory of learner autonomy through the last 50 years. We will talk about how learners have changed, how our brains have changed and now how teachers are changing, adjusting and adapting to the learners of today!

We will explore the neuro-myth “learning styles” and harness “science of learning”, but also asking how to honour the individuality and unicity of each and every brain. How Professional coaching can be the means of communicating with our learner to harness their autonomy and introduce choice and preference all the way through the learning process.

Exploring the Science of Change with Dr. Richard Boyatzis

🎓 Webinar discussion Invitation: Exploring the Science of Change with Dr. Richard Boyatzis 🎓

We are pleased to invite educators, scholars, and practitioners to a distinguished webinar event featuring Dr. Richard Boyatzis, a leading authority on leadership, emotional intelligence, and sustainable behavior change. Dr Boyatzis will be answering questions and responding to comments on his latest book The Science of Change – it would be great to have read the book before attending the webinar.

About Dr. Boyatzis:
Dr. Boyatzis is Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve University, where he holds appointments in the Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science. He has also served as a Visiting Professor at institutions including ESADE (Spain) and HEC (France). With a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Dr. Boyatzis has devoted over five decades to the study of human development, leadership, and organizational transformation.

He is widely recognized for his pioneering research in emotional intelligence (EI), having co-authored the foundational text Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence alongside Daniel Goleman and Annie McKee. His work was instrumental in extending the concept of EI from individual psychology to leadership development and educational practice.

Dr. Boyatzis is also the author of The Competent Manager and co-author of Resonant Leadership and Helping People Change. His publications have been cited over 4.5 million times, and he consistently ranks among the top scholars worldwide in the fields of organizational behavior, leadership, human resource development, and psychology.

Core Areas of Contribution:

Intentional Change Theory (ICT): A model describing how individuals and organizations achieve sustainable, desired change through emotionally resonant visions and supportive relationships.

Emotional and Social Intelligence Competency Modeling: His research helped define and measure the competencies that differentiate outstanding leaders, educators, and managers.

Coaching for Compassion: Dr. Boyatzis’s research emphasizes the role of positive emotional attractors (such as hope and compassion) over traditional performance-driven coaching methods, offering profound implications for educational and leadership practice.

Webinar Focus:
Drawing from his recent book, The Science of Change, Dr. Boyatzis will discuss:

The neuroscience and psychology underpinning how lasting change occurs

The role of emotional intelligence in fostering effective learning and growth

Practical strategies for educators to support intentional, strengths-based development in students

The importance of fostering relationships that activate positive emotional states to sustain motivation and resilience

This session offers an opportunity to engage directly with Dr. Boyatzis’s research and to consider its applications in educational settings, leadership development programs, and broader professional practice.

APRIL 5TH @ 12:00 CEST

How can we introduce Coaching into Language Teaching and the Dopamine Effect on Learning

When we look at professional coaching we really can import certain aspects into the language teaching process to make it more effective. Specialised coaching conversation can be used to empower and troubleshoot; the coaching structure can be followed, that is, the goal and action setting plus periodic goal reviews to maximise autonomy and ownership; and coaching models like PACT PQC (Rachel Paling 2012) can be used to provoke aha moments and neural connections. Skilled coaching conversations may be used around motivation, commitment, promoting learner autonomy, troubleshooting, overcoming emotional blocks and finding compassionate solutions to issues.

If we also add how to provoke dopamine production in the learning process, we will be able to help learner’s to maximise memory imprinting and therefore effective learning.

From this webinar you will gain insights into

  • Becoming experts at active listening
  • Having more empathy and compassion
  • Becoming aware of coaching ethics and principles
  • Be masters in goal setting conversations
  • Be less directive and more interactive
  • Be structured and orientated towards the focus and attention of the learner
  • Understand what provokes dopamine production
  • How to get the learner into the right learning state
  • How to provoke curiosity
  • How to bring positivity into the learning process
