METHODOLOGY

MEANINGFUL, AUTHENTIC, PURPOSEFUL

Our language instruction is characterized by a dynamic, energetic style and meaningful application to your emerging needs. LTC instructors bring articles, videos, maps, recipes and countless other context-rich materials into each class to meet your language needs and goals. These authentic materials drive purposeful learning to ensure that your specific goals are achieved.

COMMUNICATIVE ENVIRONMENT

Our program sets this language learning environment for you, and gives you the tools you need to both begin speaking and understanding your language of study day one. We achieve this through immersing you in the language. Your instructor will enable you to speak or use your language in every class.

INQUIRY BASED LEARNING

We don’t want you to just learn about the target language, but to know how to use it. This happens through exploring and discovering how language works. How does this happen? Your instructor works from your specific questions and interests to create effective, meaningful tasks that open your eyes to the “rules” of language. Not only do you gain the linguistic skills you need to communicate, but you also learn strategies that help you continue learning beyond the classroom.

TAILORED TRAINING

Tailored training is key to language success in a new environment, which is why we absolutely take your needs, goals, and learning styles and craft a customized program to match these. We then carefully select an instructor who can meet your needs. Your instructor as a highly trained language professional, will further craft his or her teaching style to best fit your language program.

QUALITY

We know that successful language learning stems from high-quality programs, which is why we utilize experienced, degreed program coordinators to organize all aspects of the process from start to finish. Our program coordinators ensure high quality programs by overseeing everything from managing the instructors to tracking progress and providing detailed reports to communicating with representatives of your company, academic center, or government entity.

INSTRUCTORS

Our instructors love language learning and education and are experienced and trained in our methodology. Their backgrounds are vast, ranging from linguistics to specific languages to education, among other areas of expertise. Instructors at minimum hold Bachelor’s degrees, though many hold advanced degrees.
Each instructor is carefully selected to work with you. Your instructor is selected by a program manager to guide you to achieve your language goals. Your instructors will also report progress, success, and emerging needs to program managers, who will then organize that information and relay it to you as well as any other representative who needs it.

PROGRAM COORDINATORS

LTC works around the clock to ensure your program runs smoothly. Our language training department is staffed by a team of full time staff. These include the language training director, training coordinators, program coordinators, and curriculum managers.
  • Our Language Training Director oversees the department, works directly with clients, and trains language coordinators, program managers, and curriculum managers.
  • LTC training coordinators ensure students are matched to the right instructor and that students and teachers have everything they need for their programs.
  • Our curriculum managers carefully select and create materials for both individual student programs and group courses.
  • Our program coordinators ensure your program is satisfactory and will work with other members of the team to ensure feedback reaches the right person, information is appropriately recorded and high quality is achieved across each program.

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

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.

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

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 caller then places a telephone call to th
