The difference that makes the difference

What makes Interpeech different from other language schools? The fact that we have been teaching & training people for over 20 years is important, even more important is the experience of that journey. After qualifying as a newly certified TEFL teacher Derek Reddy arrived in Belgium and started work teaching business English. Success was built on purely word of mouth, people were enjoying his lessons and were telling their colleagues, HR people were introducing Derek to other companies with glowing recommendations. So what was the difference that nade the difference?

The map is not the territory

An integeral presupposition in NLP, what does it have to do with language learning? Similar to reading about driving a car and actually driving a car being two totally different types of experience. Derek noticed that many students had been “studying” English, in some cases, for several years with the aid of text books. Sure, they knew the grammar rules and could analyse sections of text but they were also so conditioned to being graded on having perfect grammar that they had built an inner wall of fear of speaking English. The most vital ingredient that people needed business English for was missing-NO SPEAKING, very little time was given to actually using the language in the real world. Derek set about designing courses & curriculums that addressed this problem and got people to use the language in it’s communicative forms, which meant lots of speaking practice.

“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” ― Dale Carnegie

A second problem that Derek noticed was that for many people , learning English just wasn’t any fun. The fear of making a mistake, the belief that their grammar was so bad that they couldn’t or wouldn’t speak English, that not being understood meant they were incompetent in their work. This had to stop. Learning a language had to be fun and it had to be relevant to the learner’s needs. It was these two basic principles along with the opportunity to practice speaking the language that Derek founded Interspeech. The teachers & trainers Interspeech employ to deliver course abide by these principles.

The future depends on what you do today. – Mahatma Gandhi

2020 and the Covid pandemic has probably changed how all training courses will be delivered in the futureand for this reason Interspeech has also changed from a 100% Face-to-Face provider to offering course via video conferencing.
