Oxbow Language Institute Details
Second Language Acquisition, Research and EducationSeminars. Publishing. Consulting. Teacher-training.Boston..Zurich..Taipei..Frankfurt..Kunming..Chengdu-- Oxbow's specialty is training teachers to instructor students specific methods in the acquisition of a second language.-- This sub-specialty is unique. No other firm has tackled the issue of: HOW DO STUDENTS STUDY A FOREIGN LANGUAGE? - instead they focus on training teachers classroom methods only. Teachers have a student for 45 minutes. What happens when the student returns to his dorm and studies for 3 hours?-- Educators assume that studying a foreign language is the same as studying history, math or social studies. This is categorically a false assumption. Teachers cannot hand students a grammar book and assume that the student knows how to study a foreign language.-- "Students don't know how to study." -- Columbia University Press-- Referring to American university students, Jeffrey Karpicke, Ph.D. Director, The Memory and Cognition Lab, Purdue University said,-- "Students are losing precious time on ineffective study methods."-- Oxbow teaches over 30 methods to solve these problems. They are based on cognitive psychology, meta cognition, corpus linguistics and other current scientific research in memory enhancement.-- Recent Seminars given in Annecy, France..Thun, Switzerland..Manila, Philippines..Taipei, Taiwan..Kunming, China..Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
