Teacher training

Babylonia Tandem > language paradise ?

This aid is designed for four groups of people:

1) Monitors and organizers of exchanges and multicultural meetings who wish to bear in mind the linguistic aspect but feel they can't cope with three or more languages at one time;

2) Language teachers who want to demonstrate to their students that the language they teach can be a jumping-off point for faster comprehension of other languages, and who want to use the 'annoying interferences' of another language in a positive way for teaching their own;

3) Investigators and scientists who wish to test a hypothesis of their own against practical experiences;

4) Any other person who is interested in linguistic politics in general, who observes with a growing feeling of unease how the powerful entities of this planet, under the name 'globalization', understand each other effortlessly using the dominant but not majority language, English.

With the help of this material you can build a training programme which provides:
motivation for understanding several languages; cultural interchange with the speakers of these languages; use of non-verbal communication; creation of optimism and self-confidence; understanding in several phases and sectors; active command of some languages by tandem - learning by exchange.

Chapter 0, 1, 2, 3 are written in English, German, Italian and Spanish, chapter 4, 7 in one or two languages with easy comprehensible symbols, 5 in German or Spanish with English resumes.
