The inlingua Method is a proven language-learning approach designed to help learners achieve proficiency quickly and effectively. At inlingua School of Languages, our expert teachers are trained to implement this methodology, which is guided by the Communicative Approach, to prioritise the development of practical communication skills. Learners are immersed in the learning process, with every class encouraging active use of the target language for maximum engagement and results.
The inlingua Method focuses mainly on three components:
- Target Language Immersion
inlingua’s teaching methodology prioritises communication by using only the target language in class. Lessons focus on speaking and listening through active examples, rather than traditional grammar explanations. Learners progress through three stages—presentation, practice, and production—where they learn, apply, and creatively use the language in realistic scenarios. - Innovative Learning Materials
With over 50 years of expertise, inlingua has developed exclusive materials ranging from course books and audio exercises to tablet-based presentations. These resources are tailored to accommodate various proficiency levels and language goals, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. Accessible through inlingua, these materials provide meaningful, context-based vocabulary for real-life and specialised applications. - Tailored Learning with Expert Trainers
At inlingua, learning is guided by trainers with native-level proficiency. All our teachers are trained to adapt classes to each learner’s needs. The approach is supportive and motivating, with a focus on positive reinforcement in correcting mistakes. Learners benefit from a step-by-step process that ensures mastery of each topic, creating a relaxed yet productive atmosphere for learning.
Here are 5 effective techniques we recommend to help you maximise your learning potential!
1. Immerse Yourself in the Language
Constant exposure is key! Spend a few minutes every day immersing yourself in authentic materials to stay in touch with your target language. Watch TV shows or listen to music and podcasts in the target language, or challenge yourself and read the news or online blogs and see how much you can pick up from them. Join language exchange programmes or online apps and forums to engage with native speakers and work on sounding like a natural.
2. Focus on Real-Life Communication
The goal of learning a new language is to be able to communicate in real-life scenarios. You can start small by ordering food, buying items or asking for directions in the target language. Once you are more confident, try participating in lengthy conversations and practice scenarios such as job interviews or travel situations. A little bit of practice every day goes a long way.
3. Practice Speaking Often
Mistakes are part of the learning process. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind or make mistakes. You may struggle to find the words to express yourself, but that’s alright. Focus on conveying general ideas instead of translating word for word, even if you have limited vocabulary. After all, practice makes perfect.
4. Prioritise Function over Perfection
Don’t fret too much over perfect grammar and complicated vocabulary, just focus on simple daily phrases and work your way up to achieving fluency in communication. Start off by remembering short phrases or sentences instead of isolated words, and don’t focus too much on forming perfect grammatical sentences in your head before you speak.
5. Embrace a Positive Learning Mindset
Language learning is a long and tedious journey, and not everyone learns at the same pace. Celebrate every milestone, like understanding a podcast or making a phone call in the target language. Constant and consistent exposure, even in small amounts, builds fluency over time. Lastly, enjoy the process and you will find language learning a breeze!
Mastering a new language can open doors to endless opportunities, whether it’s for travel, career growth, or personal fulfilment. At inlingua Singapore, we combine proven teaching methodologies, expert trainers, and innovative materials to make your learning journey as effective and enjoyable as possible. By immersing yourself in the language, focusing on real-life communication, and embracing consistent practice, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can achieve fluency.
