Second (or third) language acquisition depends on various factors:
Instruction (What the Teacher Does):
Effective instruction is foundational to language acquisition as it provides structure and clarity. Educators guide learners through the complexities of a new language, making abstract concepts more tangible. At zero2rio.com we use diverse instructional methods, such as interactive activities and multimedia resources, to cater to different learning styles and enhance engagement.
Time (Number of Contact Hours with the Language)
The more time spent practicing a language, the higher the proficiency gains. Continuous exposure reinforces language structures and vocabulary, crucial for developing fluency. zero2rio.com encourages learners to immerse themselves in the language outside of formal classes, such as through language exchange meetups or consuming media in the target language.
Effort (What the Student Does):
A learner's effort is a significant determinant of success. Independent practice consolidates what is learned in the classroom and builds confidence. zero2rio.com will work with you to set achievable goals and track your progress to maintain motivation and direction.
