LANGUAGE TRAINING

START WITH THE KNOWN

LTC stands apart for our unique training process. We start with what you know, which could be anything from an alphabet to a handful of phrases. It might even include in-depth cultural knowledge about the region where your language of study is spoken. We use this linguistic information, and we select the process and approach that match your unique learning style and skills.
All students go through an intake meeting before classes start. Here you take language assessments, which measure the four linguistic skills—speaking, listening, reading and writing. We use the findings from these assessments to build a customized curriculum plan tailored specifically for your individual needs. Your instructor will utilize this plan to track your progress as well as to guide your program and to ensure you achieve your learning goals. Between sessions, students receive feedback on their progress as well as in areas that need additional focus.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)

English is the second most spoken language in the world and has earned the title of lingua franca in the business world as well as in government. At LTC, we work with clients from around the world with offices in the United States. By offering ESL courses to employees that have relocated or plan to relocate, these companies provide dynamic growth opportunities with curriculums personalized to the needs of their employees. Our students have the opportunity to work closely with a private teacher or in group classes to learn at their own pace. Our B2B English courses provide the convenience of working with a skilled team of teachers and administrators without losing focus on the learner.

Language Interpretation in American K-12 Schools

Image
by Doug Price The provision of language interpretation services in American schools is guided by federal legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. These laws mandate that school districts must take reasonable steps to overcome language barriers that impede students' equal access to education. As a result, school districts have implemented various strategies to meet the language needs of their diverse student populations. These strategies play a crucial role in ensuring effective communication and educational equity for students who are non-native English speakers or have limited proficiency in the English language. But the key consumers of interpretation services are parents, not students. For the most part, these students are 2 nd and 3 rd generation Americans who grow up speaking English outside the home even if they still speak their native tongue at home with their parents. Parents are the ones who most often ...

6 Ways Translations Can Go Wrong

Image
by  Doug Price When translation goes wrong, it can lead to misunderstandings, confusion, and sometimes even humorous or embarrassing situations. Here are a few examples of when translation errors can occur: 1. Literal Translation: Sometimes, translators may rely too heavily on word-for-word translation without considering the cultural context or idiomatic expressions. This can result in awkward or nonsensical translations. For example, a literal translation of the English phrase "It's raining cats and dogs" into another language may confuse the listener who is unfamiliar with the idiomatic meaning. 2. Cultural Nuances: Languages often have unique cultural nuances and expressions that may not have direct equivalents in other languages. Translators need to be aware of these nuances to accurately convey the intended meaning. Failure to do so can lead to misinterpretation or loss of important cultural references. 3. Machine Translation Errors: While machine translation too...
