Why is learning A language beneficial for your team?
BUILD TEAM SPIRIT
Learning together is a great way to build camaraderie amongst your staff members. Learning a language is learning how to communicate, and your team members will get to practice their communication skills while learning how to express themselves. Lessons provide a stimulating break from the workday with group activities and games that will bring the team together.
DEVELOP YOUR SKILL SET
Not only does learning a language pad your own CV, it also prepares you for a authentic and personal experience from your humanitarian work. Being able to speak a language other than English can help you to connect with everyone’s involved with your work while showing them that you’re willing to put in the work to communicate outside of the world’s lingua franca.
FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION SUCCESS
Foreign language learning is proven to enhance people’s productivity. Research has shown that employees who learn a second language on the job are better communicators at every level of employment. Team members with knowledge of a second language are also skilled at conflict resolution because of their enhance communicative abilities.
