Only on goFLUENT: In-House Microlearning Content
Introducing its own bite-sized videos featuring a diverse cast of language trainers teaching short English lessons, goFLUENT releases goFLUENT Originals. Each lesson is composed of microlearning English lessons focused on various social and business contexts which are taught in an engaging and conversational manner.
“With goFLUENT Originals, we want learners to get quick tips from real people about real communication challenges they face at work or in daily situations. Language learning content should be relevant, easily applicable, and motivating,” said Jem Aboy, goFLUENT’s Head of Content Department.
English language trainers around the world showcasing their different personalities, perspectives, and teaching styles are featured in each video, adding a special twist to language learning for professionals. The short instructional videos are expected to be more intimate and interactive than a typical classroom lesson or a plain text on a screen because of the unique ways each instructor presents their lessons.
Compared to the other videos within goFLUENT’s language training portal, goFLUENT Originals are aimed to catch the attention of learners and pique their interest more in using English in daily conversations and interactions with peers, colleagues, and other stakeholders. The bite-sized language lessons aim to engage busy adult learners and motivate them in language training in different entertaining yet very relevant ways.
Organizations which seek to improve its workforce’s language skills can increase the relevance of language training and boost learner engagement which can be achieved through the microlearning resources that goFLUENT Originals offer to busy adult learners who need to learn in their own points of need to solve specific challenges at work.
Users can already access the videos through the Corporate Language Academy, with fresh goFLUENT Originals releases monthly.
