TYPES OF SERVICES

privATE CLASSES
One-on-one language training offers the most effective environment for language learning. Our interactive teaching   methodology coupled with a curriculum tailored to fit YOUR needs bridges YOUR communication and cultural gaps and allows you to begin to understand and speak the language right away. How does this work?
Students and teachers use language to learn language! We implement the communicative method combined with task-based lessons and inquiry projects to drive language learning. In this fun, dynamic environment, your instructor focuses on your learning style and language learning history. What’s more, you have class when YOU are free to meet and gain the confidence and skills you need at the pace YOU set.
GROUP CLASSES
LTC believes group language classes are a good forum for language learning. Group classes are dynamic and interactive thus allowing students to build their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through authentic conversation, simulations of real-life interactions, and other relevant language tasks.
Group instruction not only provides an opportunity for language learning, but is also highly motivating. Speakers at every level work in pairs, groups, and as a class. Beginning classes focus on the basics of the language, vocabulary, meaningful dialogue, culture, asking questions, and introductions are also covered. Learners bring their previous knowledge to class and are challenged by extended practice through dialogue and presentations. The material learned in a typical, basic group class is useful for simple communication/conversation or travel to the target area.

MODES
LTC operates language classes all throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. Classes can be held on-site at LTC’s facilities, a location preferred by the client, or online via Skype, FaceTime, Adobe Connect and WhatsApp.


ONLINE LEARNING
In addition to face-to-face options, LTC provides a complete language learning platform that allows students to engage in language learning. Learn the language of your choice wherever you are! You can study at any time of day regardless of your time zone or the type of mobile device you use. Our online materials and multimedia content are a perfect way to supplement your individual courses or get started from wherever you’re located!

VRS vs VRI: Aren’t They the Same Service?

Image
Written by  Bethany Jamison, NIC Every industry comes with distinct vernacular! A common misconception specific to the American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting Community is that the use of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is the same as using Video Relay Services (VRS). Although both types of service are provided via a digital platform and use similar equipment, these services are quite different. Let’s take a closer look.            According to the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) website, “ VRS, like other forms of Telecommunication Relay Services (TRS) allows persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) to communicate through the telephone system with hearing persons. The VRS caller, using a television or a computer with a video camera device and a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection, contacts a VRS caller, who is a qualified interpreter. They communicate with each other in sign language through a video link. The VRS ca...

“Why So Many Interpreting Questions?”

Image
Written by Bethany Jamison, NIC If you have ever requested or received interpreting services, my guess is you have most likely experienced a series of questions. Have you ever wondered, “Why are they asking all of these questions?”  Interpreting environments can vary from performances to business trainings to medical procedures. As you can imagine, each setting has a set of norms and/or rules (both spoken and unspoken), as well as specialized jargon. Preparedness is of the utmost importance in navigating these environments. So why all the questions? Extra-Linguistic Knowledge, or ELK. Let’s define the word extralinguistic. Extra meaning “outside”, and linguistic meaning “language.” Extra-Linguistic Knowledge means any knowledge that is outside of the language itself. Naomi Sheneman, a Certified Deaf Interpreter, states, “ As sign language interpreters in the United States, we know English and American Sign Language. Those two languages make up our linguistic knowledge. Ever...

Interpreter Quality Assurance

 by: Jasmyn Sylvas The role of our LTC interpreters holds great significance in maintaining the integrity, reliability, and excellence of interpreting assignments within our company. As language barriers continue to weaken in our interconnected world, the demand for accurate and culturally sensitive communication becomes increasingly essential. Interpreters play a pivotal role in upholding these standards and ensuring that communication flows seamlessly across linguistic boundaries. Here's why interpreter quality assurance is important to us here at LTC Ensuring Accuracy: Language interpretation is a complex and nuanced process. Attention to detail minimizes the risk of misunderstandings, misinformation, or misinterpretation, which could have significant consequences in various contexts, such as legal proceedings, healthcare, business negotiations, and more. Cultural Sensitivity: Effective communication extends beyond mere translation of words. Cultural nuances, idiomatic exp...
