Send us a text Today's podcast guests are Santiago Ruiz de Velasco, Managing Director of OUP’s English Language Teaching division Benjamin Joseph, CEO and Co-founder of Learnlight. Higher education institutions (HEIs) face the challenge of supporting non-native English speakers, including students and researchers, by providing courses that effectively and flexibly enhance their skills in a way that aligns with academic demands. A recent study indicates that the higher education sector may miss valuable contributions from researchers and students due to language barriers; many non-native speakers spend additional time navigating academic texts, preparing for presentations, and working on group projects. Aspire was created to tackle these issues directly by offering a comprehensive English language training program, available in both digital and virtual instructor-led formats for individuals and groups. These sessions are led by globally renowned trainers who have undergone specialized professional development crafted by Oxford University Press. Key Benefits of Aspire: Proven and Reliable Methods : Aspire is built on Learnlight's proprietary science, including the Learnlight Empowerment Method™ and Flipped Classroom approach, which have been proven to accelerate proficiency by 40%, ensuring timely, measurable results. This is complemented by content from Oxford University Press, a globally respected academic publisher with over 500 years of experience. Instruction by Experts : Aspire provides high-quality, practical instruction tailored to professional settings, delivered by exceptional trainers who meet Learnlight's rigorous performance metrics and have completed specialized training with Oxford University Press. Assessments and Certifications : Learners start with the Oxford Placement Test to find the right learning path and complete regular progress tests. After passing the final assessment, they receive a co-branded certificate from Oxford University Press and Learnlight, a solid credential of their language proficiency. Innovative Learning Tools : Aspire provides access to resources like the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary and Learnlight’s extensive learning tools, including its AI-powered Fluency Lab, daily conversation practice, grammar guides, and magazines for ongoing learning. For HEI’s looking to find out how this transformative program can support students and researchers with language learning, you can register your interest here . https://linktr.ee/eflmagazine…

Getting Your Money to Work for You through Strategic Investing, with Nicola Prentis 58:14

Send us a text Nicola Prentis started off in ELT as a teacher, bouncing around the world wherever she most wanted to go at the time: Czech Republic, Turkey, Australia, Spain, Thailand. She started writing EFL materials as a way to transition into working from her sofa and settled in Spain around 2012. Once she realised she could sell ideas to magazines, she branched out into writing about travel, food, parenting, even Brxit and Love Island for publications including Cosmo, The Independent and the Wall Street Journal (OK, it was only one article in each of those!). After a brief period of speaking at conferences, she realised she wasn't going to earn any more from writing than she had from teaching and the shine had faded from sitting at home not talking to anyone all day. At the same time, she began wondering what she could do with her savings, carefully scrimped over 20 years. The answer led her into teaching herself about investing from a starting point of utter cluelessness. That was quickly followed by the realisation that many, many people in ELT had the same lack of knowledge about investing and that all her years of teaching and creating educational materials were about to come in handy... the result is The Chilled Investor. A beginner course on investing that can take anyone from clueless to clued up in 6 weeks. www.chilledinvestor.com to sign up to the newsletter to be the first to hear about it.

Send us a text Rob Lally helps B2B consultants and service providers get more leads through LinkedIn. We sat down and had a chat about Rob's business and how best to use LinkedIn to improve your profile, build your brand, and ultimately bring in more business. "If you are looking to grow your business with great quality leads, Rob is the man to go." - Syed Saiful Islam "Rob is a master at driving business and thinking outside the box when devising ways of increasing sales revenue. He is someone who you would love to have on your team and would always go above and beyond to succeed." - James Fitzpatrick "He helped guide me and bring clarity to my situation and had some epic expert advice on how I could improve my client attraction methods." - Brendan Mcdonald "He officially jumped on as my first client". - Sarah W - 4 days into the program . Does any of this sound familiar? 👉 "Getting one client is like a full time job in itself" 👉 “I wanted to work for myself to have freedom, but I'm getting burned out just trying to find new clients!” 👉 I wear a thousand hats. I have tried holding workshops, presentations, emailing prospects but I just can't get clients consistently! If so, you’ve come to the right place. Hi I’m Rob, and I teach coaches and consultants how to get high paying clients consistently and predictably using LinkedIn without having to go through the famine and feast cycle of no clients to clients! Imagine: Waking up excited every SINGLE morning ready to focus on making your business better rather than finding clients. Not having to worry about going back to the corporate rat race world because you can get clients ON DEMAND. Getting clients on a regular basis, that pay you what you are worth. I’m here to help you go from uncertainty to confidence, because you’ll know that with my system in place, you can get calls booked whenever YOU decide. I want to help you go from sending pitches to anyone and everyone, to have clients come to YOU as an authority of the your market. And I do this through my coaching program that will show you step by step on how to get clients predictably through LinkedIn. Are you ready to make this happen? 👉 Here's my free training on how to fill your calendar and stand out from the noise on LinkedIn: https://roblallyconsulting.com/training 👉 Book a call with me below and I will see if you qualify for a free strategy session: https://calendly.com/roblallyconsulting/15min 👉 Check out my helpful YouTube videos for small business owners: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr7iQWhD8rSqc8jEh38FPWA https://linktr.ee/eflmagazine…

How to Use Digital Marketing to Skyrocket Your Teaching Business, with Leah Sparrow 56:21

3 years sitten56:21

56:21

Send us a text Leah has been the owner of Leah Sparrow Digital Marketing since January of 2020. Her love for marketing was discovered in the early 1990’s. She began as an on-air personality for a few radio stations in Tennessee. She was quickly promoted to production director and operations manager. Her duties included creating and overseeing the promotional and commercial content along with the programming of the station(s). She enjoyed her years in radio, but she began to notice a decline in sales. She realized the industry was shifting so she decided to pursue teaching. Spending time teaching her employees the art of delivery and content creation during her time in broadcasting was also something she found she had a passion for. In 2008, she decided to move on and pursue an education degree. Once she finished her masters in curriculum and instruction, she went on to teach at one of the private schools in her town. Although she enjoyed teaching the students, she discovered her health would not allow her to continue teaching in a brick mortar. She then decided to find a way to work from home. The discovery of online teaching was made as well as the discovery of a new passion: online teaching. In 2017, she began her online teaching with VIPKID and QKIDS. As she honed her skills through companies like VIPKID, QKIDS, GogoKid, and Outschool, she realized she wanted to take her passion for online teaching to the next level. After a few months of navigating and determining where her niche was in the independent online teaching world, she began the process of growing a digital marketing business. With the sole goal of helping online teachers grow and scale their online business through simplified marketing, Leah created Leah Sparrow Digital Marketing. Her digital course,The Online Teacher’s Facebook Ads Blueprint (TOTFAB), is helping online teachers take their business to the next level. For those interested in growing their business through social media marketing at any stage, she provides one on one sessions and social media management services.
