What is the Language Coaching Approach?
Language coaching incorporates coaching fundamentals into the language learning context. The role of a language coach is to support and empower the learner on their self-led learning journey. Instead of working with pre-defined lesson objectives, the Language Coach focuses on the learner’s communication outcomes and learning processes in their professional and personal environments.
A key aspect of the coaching process is to allow time for self-reflection and to evaluate language usage. Alongside this, the Language Coach assists in defining and using the tools that are needed to progress in the target language.

What Previous Learners Say
“I found this resource really informative and useful for my own professional development. Reading the ‘Practice’ section was a lightbulb moment for me. It helped me to recognize ways in which I already act as a coach to my learners. However, it also made me reflect on how I’ve perhaps undervalued the coaching process during and outside of class time. With this in mind, I could see how some coaching techniques in general could be used with my learners during tutor time and PSHE sessions.
I’d highly recommend the resource and would agree with the title – it is comprehensive! More than that, I found it an inspiring read – the author’s passion really comes through.”
