Rozmowa Piotra Szczepańskiego z Justyną Kowalczyk, koordynatorką programu English Teaching, w ramach cyklu #rozmowywszechnicy [31 stycznia 2024 r.] Znajomość języka obcego to w dzisiejszych czasach podstawowa kompetencja ludzi nie tylko młodych. Bez tej umiejętności młodzi Polacy nie będą w stanie konkurować ze swoimi rówieśnikami z krajów europejskich. Można powiedzieć, że bez społeczeństwa dwujęzycznego raczej nigdy nie wydobędziemy się z pułapki średniego rozwoju, nie przestaniemy być półperyferią. Polacy nie będą uczestniczyć w międzynarodowych konferencjach, pracować w międzynarodowych zespołach, a niektórzy Politycy (którzy sami ani me ani be w obcym języku) będą nas straszyć obcymi, którzy chcą pozbawić nas suwerenności. Co zatem (oprócz dwóch godzin w szkole) można zrobić by angielski i w ogóle nauka języków obcych stała się "sexy", by lepiej uczono ich w szkole, by rodzice wspierali swoje dzieci w poznawaniu angielskiego, a może też jak przekonać całą wieś by poznawała angielski... O tym będę rozmawiał z Justyną Kowalczyk, koordynatorką programu English Teaching. Programu prowadzonego przez Nidzicką Fundację Rozwoju, a finansowaną i wymyśloną przez Polsko-Amerykańską Fundację Wolności.

Sawubona! Christine introduces you to Roberta Ndlela, Public Speaking Coach, Soft Skills Trainer and the host of the Speaking and Communicating Podcast based in Chicago, Illinois. Originally from South Africa of the Zulu tribe, Roberta moved from a corporate career to teaching communication, presentation and interpersonal skills to managers from a technical base to empower them to connect to their teams using her unique experience and culture to inform and inspire.CHRISTINE AND ROBERTA REVEAL:The differences in communication when you change location or government.The importance of interpersonal skills alongside technical skills.Modern language AI and app fallibility.The Zulu culture of Ubuntu.How to take your turn.Lost connections and a new revival.BEST MOMENTS“There's too much consultation of stakeholders before you build anything because the apartheid government was very ‘just bulldoze and do whatever you want' without consulting anybody so they became the extreme on over-consulting.”-Roberta“Potentially those who are listening are used to a life of word processing, where when you type a business letter and you need to change it and adjust it, you just double click on the word, and you delete it.”-Christine“I've had to be a little less formal than I was in the'90s. That is a fact, yes.”-Roberta“There was a moment that went viral because during that ceremony somebody spoke while the new King was speaking. That is uncalled for. You don't interrupt because respect drives everything you do.”-Roberta“Are we being coached or trained now to say ‘oh, you're an individual. Just be in your apartment and just live by yourself. Don't talk to anybody.'?”-Roberta“There are humans behind those machines and the concept of Ubuntu there that's parallel to that is ‘I see you'.

Christine's guest in this episode is Michael Gates, an experienced negotiation and cross-cultural communication facilitator and trainer, who has provided cross-cultural training in over 40 countries to corporations such as Nokia, Microsoft and Bytedance (TikTok). Skilled in teaching, writing and facilitating intercultural and negotiation training, Michael, a former radio producer, is also the mind behind the world's first online cross-cultural assessment and training database. Based in Finland, Michael divides his time between teaching at Said Business School, Oxford and delivering training across the globe. Christine and Michael talk about approaching communication in a cross-cultural setting, the nature and nurture of cross-cultural communication, and the changing nature of connection. CHRISTINE AND MICHAEL REVEAL:Finnish telepathy!The power of thought and pause.The advantage of understanding culture and meeting your audience halfway.The connection between adaptation and trust.The Queen's changing English!The seduction techniques of Tony Blair.How a full stop can be considered aggressive to some.BEST MOMENTS“The first stage in any cultural intervention is to understand your own culture.”-Michael"Silence speaks a thousand words." - Christine"Turn taking in Finland and Japan is not the way it is in Western Europe or the US. When you analyse Americans speaking, there's a lot of interruptive speech. Silence can mean different things." -Michael"Elon Musk takes at least 30 seconds to respond. You could almost hear his mind thinking." - Michael"What we also need in pause is time to assimilate what's been said. I have two episodes on this about pause and turn-taking, which go into more detail on what you've just said." - Christine  “I would argue that in communication if you come at least halfway towards the other person's style, you've probably got a better chance of getting them to understand and persuading them.”-Michael“If you heard the late Queen talking shortly before she died compared to how she was in the early 1950s, it's a very different pronunciation and accent.”-Michael"Harry uses a mix of Estuary English and Californian, which Tony Blair, which is often associated with the lower classes." - Michael GUEST RESOURCEShttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgatescrossculture/CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.com Training: www.phenomenalpresenters.com DISCOUNT CODE: Welcome50ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

Christine talks with her spiritual teacher Michelle MacEwan, an international speaker, spiritual activist, guide, and protector of the wild. Michelle's website Wild Wisdom provides an online sanctuary for practice, exploration and spiritual growth by giving guidance in the regular practice of inner journeywork, crafting expeditions and daily pilgrimages into the natural world, translating ancient teachings to help resolve conflicts, answering questions, deconstructing points of confusion, integrating ritual and spiritual exercises to enrich work and daily life, harmonising peoples' inner and outer worlds and allowing them to develop their own unique wisdom and creativity.Christine and Michelle discuss communication from a perspective of developing technology, ancient wisdom, nature, primary language and the whole-earth system.CHRISTINE AND MICHELLE REVEAL:What we lose from fast, convenient communication methods.Ancient communications and their connection to the natural world.New perspectives on self-expression and labels.The connection between handwritten and heart written.How Kookaburras are like the 'roosters' of Australia. BEST MOMENTS:“My first husband was a singer-songwriter and I just love writing poetical, lyrical pieces so I was really involved just from that perspective.”-Michelle“We had slower communication back then and I think it was probably more heartfelt.”-Michelle“We are nature, not separate. So to say ‘I've got to get connected to nature' we've already disconnected. But we are nature."-Michelle“We each have our own perception of the world and our own perceptions of ourselves. Nobody gets to tell us whether our perception of ourselves is right or wrong." -Christine“Texting changed communication because you only got a certain amount of words you could put in a text to become this brief message. We can see now the brevity in our messaging.”-Michelle“The difference is anticipation versus interruption. Communication in the past; we desired it, we anticipated it, we created it from inside us and shared it from our hands, through our voices from the heart." -Christine GUEST RESOURCEShttps://www.michellemacewan.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/michelle_macewanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@michellemacewan CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.com Training: www.phenomenalpresenters.comDISCOUNT CODE: WELCOME50ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

Christine chats to her youngest sibling Patrick to try to make sense of all the new, modern methods of communication that appear mystical to many of us in the older generations. What lessons can we learn from a new generation's ease and skill with these seemingly complex and technical ways of communicating and what is changing over the ages? CHRISTINE AND PATRICK REVEALThe meaning of Snapchat ‘blue' and ‘red' chats. The social impacts of the new methods of communicating.Possible dangers in modern social apps.Some of the new “lingo”!Healthier approaches to social media.Fun filters and fake filters.  Maintaining a healthy balance in communication. BEST MOMENTS“Social media is the first thing that comes to mind for me and how it's communication for everything now. I suppose that's developed from phones just as text messages and now Snapchat.”-Patrick“When you have the screen it's much easier to be yourself sometimes than in person. Not just Snapchat, to be fair, that's relevant to all social media.”-Patrick“You'd think that the goal of an app like that would be to create connection, to allow people to meet new people, to make new friends?”-Christine“They prefer to see the person naturally because they're not really ‘catfishing' I know, they're people who are pretending to be someone else. But the word ‘catfish' is used for mainly girls who because you look like a model on Instagram and then in real life not like that.”-Patrick“The Snapchat filters are funny. I love them, especially recently. There's so many more than they used to have.”-Patrick“It's this whole attempt at creating a sense of obligation in people to behave in a way that a greater or broader section of society approves of.”-Christine“Keep using it but limit your time on it. Use Snapchat when you need to talk to someone.”-Patrick  CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.comTraining: www.phenomenalpresenters.com ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

How do you ask confidently for a point to be repeated if you have not understood it the first time around? Christine explains how to request clarification in a presentation, meeting or workplace setting without worrying about appearing stupid or incompetent, irritating your speaker or unnecessary procrastination. CHRISTINE REVEALS:The reasons why clarification is so important in the workplace.The unseen advantages gained from confident clarification.Why so many people, possibly even you, are afraid to ask for clarification.Some priceless tips for clarifying with confidence.Some secret methods to ask for clarification while simultaneously building your relationship and avoiding irritation or embarrassment.  BEST MOMENTS“Clarifying confidently is an essential skill. It can help you effectively communicate and avoid misunderstandings.” “It can create psychological safety for newer or less experienced employees in the organisation.”“The brain's fear response can result in individuals fearing judgement or criticism when seeking clarification.”“Use clear, concise and specific language. When you need clarification, the more precise and concise you can be, the easier it is for a person to understand what you need from them.”“The key thing to remember is that clarifying is not a sign of weakness or incompetence; it's a sign of commitment to clear communication, to shared understanding, to not wasting time, and to being effective in your work.”CONTACT METHODSend me a Voicemail: https://bit.ly/ConnectedCommunicationPodcast  Email: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: @connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.comMasterclasses: www.phenomenalpresenters.com DISCOUNT CODE: Welcome50JOIN ME LIVE IN JUNE!Registration: https://bit.ly/clarifyconfidently ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

This week asks some difficult questions about difficult questions. Christine offers you some answers that will prepare you for that gut-tightening moment during a presentation when you feel you are being challenged, perhaps attacked and maybe even put off your stride. CHRISTINE REVEALSHow identifying a difficult question can be all about perception.The reasons why people ask difficult questions.The connection between difficult questions and your mindset.5 ways to effectively manage difficult questions. The Law of Optimal Performance.BEST MOMENTS“Somebody's fired a question at you, you weren't ready for it, it interrupted you in the middle of speaking, you're just completely and utterly put out. “How dare they!”. Well what was the reason they might have asked?”  “In comparison to needing clarification, a person may ask deeper, more pointed questions because they want to gain more understanding and explore more deeply the topic that is being discussed.”“Before the presentation, with a fixed mindset, we might say to ourselves “Am I able to do this? I don't have the same level of expertise.” Whereas with a growth mindset, we might say “I'm not sure I can do this, but I'm going to do it and I can't learn if I don't try.”'“Different people hear, see, perceive the world in different ways. Different brains have different capacities to hear, perceive and see the world.”“The most important part of presentation preparation is speaking to your audience's objective, not to yours.”“In many cultures, pausing indicates a lack of knowledge. Speakers often fear being judged negatively for pausing, but pausing confidently creates authority.”“When we stop forcing the brain to think about a thing we reduce the pressure on the brain and Bop! We remember.”  CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.comTraining: www.phenomenalpresenters.com ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

Christine explains techniques on how to introduce a talk or presentation. The kinds of methods used depend on the situation, the culture, the person, the relationship, and the listener. Find out how to get your audience fully engaged from the outset of your presentation with consideration for the ambience of the room, first impressions, a powerful opening, and the emotional buy-in of your listeners.CHRISTINE REVEALSHow the COVID lockdown has decreased people's confidence in speaking to a live and present audience. That first impressions matter and you should consider the room, background, and ambience before you begin.The importance of understanding your audience. That your first two lines are of critical importance.The secret behind ‘hooks' and how to use them to gain emotional buy-in.The importance of being mindful of cultural references and jokes.That creating relevance of the topic to your listeners is paramount.That timetabling time for questions can deal with challenging hecklers.BEST MOMENTS“One of the most important aspects of a talk or a presentation is its opening. How you open makes all the difference, not only to your audience, but to your own confidence and speaking success.”“When I was an English teacher I used to put scented bags of essential oils on the radiators before my students came to class to help them feel calm.”“In with the hook, always backup your data, it's very important, especially if you want to be credible to an audience.”“Conviction in your voice, belief in your content and capacity to deliver it, and strategic phraseology cast a spell that commands attention.

Her guidance covers all stages of the process, and she uses real-world examples to make it easy to apply.

In this episode, Christine explains how the force, pressure or volume applied to a syllable, word or phrase can have direct effects on how your message is received in a presentation or conversation. Using some of the content from her Resource Library to define speaking power, Christine demonstrates how failing to understand stress techniques in English can result in a speaker's message being misunderstood or not being heard at all. If you work in English, but it's not your first language, this is an episode not to miss!CHRISTINE REVEALS:Power is also called ‘Tone Quality' and is often referred to as ‘Stress' by English language teachers.How we weaken and strengthen sounds in English and link certain word combinations impacts how well an audience can understand what we say.When speaking too softly, listeners can lose confidence in the speaker, or when too loud, a speaker can frustrate or alienate the audience.A special technique the best orators use to take their audience on a journey as they speak.How mastery of these techniques using Phenomenal Presenters can provide you with the engagement you desire when presenting or communicating in English.BEST MOMENTS“A well-used punch of power vibrated within the resonators offers a delightful quality to a speaker's overall tone.”“Variability is key. Too soft, an audience may lose trust. Too loud and a speaker can appear overly dominant or emotional and push people away.”“Languages use stress differently. Some apply the same degree of power to every syllable. Some apply the same degree of duration to every syllable, the same pace. Spanish and French are examples of that.”“One of the most memorable speeches ever given and still one of the most famous speeches today draws on both of these techniques, three or more, the powerful rule of three when speaking, and on the building to a climax. Which speech, you ask? Martin Luther King's “I Have a Dream”.”“It's particularly important to understand this aspect of English, that we weaken and strengthen sounds, that we link certain sounds together.” CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.comTraining: www.phenomenalpresenters.com ABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

Have you ever held yourself back when asked to speak or present? Christine addresses situations in which you can be tested or deliberately manipulated, including a personal story of her own, and examines how we can build our defences against negative influences, both external and internal and free ourselves to express with confidence in our abilities and knowledge. Take your first steps to become bulls**t resistant.CHRISTINE REVEALS:How advertising takes advantage of your vulnerabilities to sell to you.How our formative years shape us with lessons to be embraced or unlearned to return to the confidence levels we are all born with.How confidence is not only dictated by knowledge of the subject but by the perceived difficulty of the task at hand.An invaluable piece of advice to help you nurture confidence.How to sound confident in professional situations, even if you don't feel like it inside.BEST MOMENTS“People are used to being made to feel afraid then convinced the fearmonger has the solution. It's happened for decades, more than decades.”“As we grow and develop in playgroups and preschool and before it, and throughout our lives, so too does our confidence and trust.”  “In approximately 50% of respondents, confidence was also reflected by the perceived uncertainty of the task at hand.” “Confidence isn't something we can simply change overnight. It's as layered as the therapist's onion representing our emotions and our experience.”“I am confident enough in my own learning and experience to share what I am sharing today. It's helped me, my family members and my clients. I don't need anyone else to validate its truth.”CONTACT METHODEmail: christine@languagecouragecoaching.comInstagram: connected_communicationWebsite : www.languagecouragecoaching.comTraining: www.phenomenalpresenters.comABOUT THE PODCASTCultivate confident English-speaking skills with Connected Communication, the podcast series for anyone communicating in English as a global lingua franca.

A few years ago, Chinese online English teaching companies VIPKID and Akasuo were both booming. But their business was mainly for children and primary school students. Later, teaching for these groups was officially banned in China. As a result, many companies that were teaching English began to shift to English for adults.Join other motivated learners on your Chinese learning journey with maayot.

I’m Jackie, your Podcast Host and American - Filipina Mom of two wonderful little kids, who’s been living in Denmark with her family for the past seven years. Born in Manila, Philippines and I moved to California, US when I was five years old. Although today I treat the US as my homeland, I remember until this day, what a cultural shock the whole “moving into a new country” was for me. Especially that my mom was giving me rice meals for lunch at school, while all the other kids were having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I couldn’t understand why they were eating so differently and they couldn’t understand my “rice thingy” either. Let's connect! Instagram > Facebook > Pinterest > Youtu

I am back!! In this episode I talk about where I've been these past few months, some updates on things, and my potentially controversial opinions about other online English teachers and the English Teaching industry as a whole. Come and fight me! Well... actually... maybe not too much as I'm still not mentally recovered from my burnout and everything...

We all know that the ELT industry kinda sucks. And I'm not saying it to complain. Although, as a person from Poland, I'm a PRO at moaning! I'm saying this to raise awareness, motivate, empower and kick your bum! I've recorded this episode full of conflicting emotions - anger, enthusiasm, annoyance, and hope. So if you want to know what, in my opinion, are the 5 things that we all know about but don't talk about enough in the English Teaching world, listen to this episode. Be prepared for a rant about native-speakerism, the worth of the industry on the global market, not seeing the bigger picture, and quick fixes that we constantly expect and give out.

In this episode I talk about a few controversial topics in the English Teaching world... why do English learners suck at learning English? Who's to blame for it? And how can we fix it?WARNING: This episode contains swearing. I believe swearing to be an important part of language learning, and language in general.

This episode is for my fellow teachers! In this episode we're going to delve into a topic which I get asked about A LOT! How did I turn from a depressed and shy girl who used to look at YouTube teachers with absolute envy while I wiped arses for a living in a care home... to starting my own online English teaching business, working only for myself, and growing a social media presence in order to help English learners around the world for free while I pay my bills and don't worry about trying to find work at toxic and underpaying English teaching companies anymore. Let's learn how to be a real "ELT BossBabe"! *cringe*WARNING: This episode contains swearing. I believe swearing to be an important part of language learning, and language in general.
