5. Our goals

 

For Native Speaker Network Int. "successful learning" means to overcome language barriers and the fear of using a foreign language in everyday life. Joy and fun while practicing the language as well as self-satisfaction in exercising it and a positive attitude to foreign language without fear and shame are the consequences of successful learning. Furthermore, we consider learning to be successful when the participants realize the importance and the need of a foreign language and when they want to expand and deepen their language skills voluntarily. Dealing with other cultures, values and their acceptance and integration are complementing our definition of successful learning.

4. Our teachers

 

Our teachers bring a lot of teaching experiences and have been working at our company for many years. They have excellent pedagogical and methodological knowledge ( TEFL or CELTA qualified)and love working with children and young people. They are motivated, hard-working and willing to continue to develop themselves  further. The atmosphere within the company is amicable. Our teachers identify themselves perfectly with Native Speaker Network International and its values.
