What do we do ?

 

ActiLingua – activating, active and interactive

ActiLingua is a Language Centre for German, French, English and Dutch. Our students learn these languages in activating, interactive and active ways.

Activating learning is long-term learning

Our lessons are activating. In the lessons we activate and perfect your language skills. You actively deal with various topics and practice in an effective way. You connect new knowledge with old knowledge. In this way you will store what you have learned for the long term.

Create active input = Create active output

Our active methods combine all skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking) and ensures that you achieve high progression within a short period of time.

Interactive learning

Language learning is interaction. Every situation in which real communication takes place is helpful for language learning. That is why interaction occupies a central place in our lessons. Our interactive approach also promotes individual learning strategies.

Why us?

Our teaching style and methods are activating, active and interactive – as the name ‘ActiLingua’ suggests.

Our language school focuses on working with plurilingual and multicultural learners. We are happy to adapt to our clients’ needs and take their wishes and interests into account.

We select our teachers based on their CV, their diplomas and references and a trial lesson with ActiLingua clients.

Our team brings teachers together who

  • are plurilingual themselves
  • have lived abroad and are able to understand the special needs and expectations of expats
  • have taught multicultural target groups
  • have an academic background
  • are familiar with recent research results on language learning
  • are innovative
  • are able and willing to create special materials for language teaching

The curricula created by ActiLingua are in line with the requirements of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Variety of methods

Our landmark is the variety of methods. We strongly believe that different learning activities largely contribute to the mastery of all areas of a language. The weighting should therefore not be too one-sided. A wide range of meaningful activities adapted to your learning type will help you to quickly progress in the acquisition of the chosen language.
