Global Engagement Solutions
Importance of Language Learning
Global citizenship has big benefits. Working in cross-cultural teams can improve creativity and problem-solving; learning to see things from other perspectives sharpens critical thinking and productivity. Multilingualism improves cognitive skills, increases lifetime earning potential, and gives students a competitive edge when applying for college or career opportunities .
However, not all students have access to a multicultural education. Limiting factors like staffing challenges; remote, rural, or homogenous school environments; and budget constraints can make it difficult for administrators to provide foreign language classes or globally-minded instruction. Too often, this disproportionately impacts historically underserved students and prevents them from enjoying the academic, cognitive, and economic benefits associated with bilingualism and cross-cultural competence. By creating more equitable access to meaningful world languages education, we help create more equitable access to the opportunities that stem from it.
ChatENG’s Global Engagement Solutions helps schools provide equitable access to the world language and cultural discovery courses their students deserve.
What Sets Us Apart
Our classes are synchronous, interactive, and culture-first
We provide live instruction with original, research-based curricula that explore language in its broader context, including culture, history, music, and traditions.
Our teachers are experienced, qualified, and specially trained
We recruit veteran teachers from around the world who are native speakers of our course languages, then train them in the ChatENG instructional model before they enter your classroom.
Our educational approach is experiential, engaging, and effective
We prioritize hands-on learning through project-based assessment, interactive virtual field trips around the world, and instructional strategies targeting rapid language production, helping students stay motivated to successfully complete the course.
Our courses are designed to be easily implemented
We handle instructional and administrative tasks, such as grading, attendance, and documentation using your school’s learning management system, and we customize our classes to meet your school’s unique needs.
Our partnership extends beyond the classroom
We advise students on secondary and post-secondary opportunities, including critical language scholarships, study abroad programs, and more.
Research-Based Instruction
Small Groups Support Language Learning
Small group interventions are a means to support students learning two languages at the same time.
(Castro et al., 2011)
Speaking Skils Lead to Literacy Improvement
A strong foundation in oral language (speaking) at an early age has been correlated with increases in literacy achievements in the later grades.
(Horowitz, 2015)
Authentic Talk Increases Interaction
Our face-to-face lessons offer authentic communication which allows for interaction and collaboration neccessary for increased oral language skills.
