In this first episode of this new Podcast Series, I will be introducing the theme of this series “What is Language Coaching?”. We are witnessing how language teaching is transforming worldwide and the new phenomena of language teachers calling themselves language coaches and the question here is what is this? Are there any guidelines or is there a definition?

For those who know me, I am the creator of Neurolanguage Coaching®, a new approach and method for language learning which combines the principles of neuroscience together with coaching a vehicle of delivering the learning process. Back in 2012 I created the definition of Neurolanguage Coaching®,
“Neurolanguage Coaching® is the efficient and fast transfer of language knowledge from the Language Coach to the Language Coachee with sustainable effects facilitated by brain based coaching and coaching principles.” 

I am deeply interested and curious to understand what other colleagues and fellow professionals think about the topic of Language Coaching and what they believe it is. So, I have interviewed some of these professionals. 

I do hope you enjoy listening and interested to know what you think language coaching is :-).
