A language study group having a positive effect on its members, it is able to decrease cultural sensitivities. This is because the group directly affects individual beliefs, expectations, and values. By being aware of different cultures, the study group is able to recognize differences in word meaning so that no one feels embarrassed or upset. By remaining culturally aware, the sensitivities will eventually be pushed to the wayside.

Developing a Study Group

In order to have a study group developed you need to be sure to know what type of study group it will be used for. If it will be a school study group that focuses on language, it is important to have goals set and a certain plan for achievement to be made. While fluency may be expected by a few students, others may only want to achieve a certain amount in order for relationships to be developed in order to further personal abilities.

For the goals to be reached with fluency, materials will be provided through our social network platform. There will also be several other resources and a huge amount of support in case help is needed. All you have to worry about is having a device to use the platform from anywhere you choose.

In order for progress to be meaningful, student data will be collected prior to the study group being formed. This data will allow proper pairing of group members and to have an idea of each member’s proficiency level. Also, timelines can be established so that you can reach goals and see change and progress as it happens.

It is not easy to learn a language and not all approaches may work for each group member. This is why incorporating the data collected is vital in pairing group members. This data will also help goals to be met without feeling like they are falling behind or not grasping a concept well. When a student is seen as not comprehending appropriately, this is where other group members can also come in hand to assist where needed.
