In order to gain confidence, we need to see that language as our own, we need a story that will help us embrace the internal narrative of our own multilingual self.<\/h5><p>Scientific Claim by D. Kahneman is that <b>human judgement is <\/b><strong>noisy<\/strong> &#8211; full of unwanted discrepancies and errors of judgement which we make without realising that they are based on inner, subconscious or even unconscious filters through which we perceive and understand the world around us. Our human minds have much greater need for <strong>coherent stories<\/strong>\u00a0than they do for those stories to be objectively true. Therefore, we will see something as true as long as we perceive it as coherent &#8211; on both ethical and logical levels.\u00a0<\/p><h5>How is this applied in MPEC&#8217;s Language Engagement Method?<\/h5><div>Let\u2019s imagine we meet a student for the first time and they say something along the lines of: I am a person \u00a0who struggles with confidence, who always needs to be prepared, otherwise I cannot work or function properly, and as my English is so poor, I feel blocked when I need to speak it.\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>We know that <strong>what blocks them and makes it impossible for them to speak English is the limiting inner narrative about their own difficulty with learning or speaking that language<\/strong>. We therefore focus strongly on highlighting growth through constant <strong>Positive GAP Analysis<\/strong> milestones (\u2019this is where we were\u2019, \u2019this is where we are\u2019, &#8216;all these skills and expressions are new and yours to use from now on\u2019). But most of all, we build our lessons on and around<strong> real practice, role plays and simulations<\/strong>. Because we know that our students\u2019 brains need a \u2019Real Story Of A Past Success\u2019 in order to feel more confident when facing a real challenge outside of the classroom. We know as well that the mind does not need this story to come from a real environment &#8211; a role play with a coach will turn into rich turf for confidence ahead of our student\u2019s next meeting in English or an exam or an interview they want to pass.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-efae15b\" data-id=\"efae15b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4056e68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4056e68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noise-Kahneman-1024x683.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4265\" alt=\"Noise Kahneman\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mpec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noise-Kahneman-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mpec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noise-Kahneman-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mpec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noise-Kahneman-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mpec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Noise-Kahneman.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients \u2013 or that two judges in the same court give different sentences to people who have committed matching crimes. Now imagine that the same doctor and the same judge make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday, or they haven\u2019t yet had lunch. These are examples of noise: variability in judgements that should be identical.\n\nIn Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein show how noise produces errors in many fields, including in medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and hiring. And although noise can be found wherever people are making judgements and decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore its impact, at great cost.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

To make it possible, we build a strong, positive community of likeminded students, who meet twice a week for guided conversation that<strong> allows them to bond through powerful topics that build intimacy and trust<\/strong>. Our Zoom Conversation Club (2 sessions of 30 minutes a week) does not follow the traditional academic error-correction focus.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Coach\u2019s presence is limited to being the host and the moderator, whilst the students are invited to speak with different partners in a set of short, private conversations in Break Out Rooms. In 30 minutes, each student can meet 3-4 fellow learners, whose level might differ from their own, but with whom they can simply interact, <strong>without the risk of being judged or seen as \u2018not good enough\u2019<\/strong> &#8211; one of the major dreads and fears amongst the human kind.<\/p><p>Being able to communicate without fear and with the real, non-academic end in mind is what makes the Conversation Club so amazing.
