Intensive language courses are useful in many ways. These courses are conducted over a short period and are aimed at achieving the goal of providing the basic theoretical knowledge of the language. It is fast learning with small groups. Some people might not like intensive courses as they might not be able to adjust to the pace and the time limit. However, for those who are fast learners and have to learn the language within a time limit, intensive course is the best option.
Here is how the course will help you in attaining proficiency
- Personalised learning
To attain proficiency, you need to practice and constantly seek feedback from your educator. Not every language course provides personalised learning. Since there are many people in the class wanting to learn the language, the teacher doesn’t have the time to personalise the learning. However, in the intensive courses which are conducted with a small group of students, teachers provide personalised learning and give more opportunity to each student to seek feedback.
- A small group of students
Intensive language courses are taught to a small group of students. There is no crowding or divided attention of teachers. In this way, you will be able to focus in the class more and grasp concepts easily. Proficiency requires you to have a strong basis of the language and a sufficient hold on the advanced form of the language. All this definitely requires attention in a class apart from home learning and practising.
- Basic learning
As we mentioned earlier, to gain proficiency in a language, you need to have a strong foundation. Intensive language courses provide you with that. Intensive language courses focus on basic learning like grammar rules, vocabulary and pronunciation. This means with an attentive attitude in class and dedication on a personal level, you can gain proficiency in the language very soon.
- Shorter duration of course
We ended the previous point with ‘very soon’ because this point will address that part of intensive language courses. We all have many things on the platter apart from language learning. Most of us learn language as a part-time indulgence. In other language courses, you might have to spend longer hours in the classroom and wait for a longer period to finally finish the course. This might not align with your responsibilities and time crunch. But intensive courses which are shorter than regular courses will provide you enough time to give to other responsibilities of life. Although the class duration of the intensive course is the same as any other course, the overall duration of the course is less. This means you can learn the language faster and gain proficiency.
- Helps in building the personality
Last but not least, like other language courses, intensive language courses too help in personal development. This might sound unrelated but it is not. Gaining proficiency in any language requires you to have the confidence to speak with native people in a new language.
Intensive language courses teach discipline, hard work, taking responsibility and punctuality. Intensive language courses require the students to complete tasks on time. They have to be responsible and committed to the learning. Home learning is also required in the course. Once you adopt these qualities, you will feel confident about your learning. This confidence will not make you stammer or stumble while speaking to a foreigner. You can easily break the language barrier and initiate conversation.
