Conversation in English through Positive Psychology
What are the sessions about? The sessions are to work on conversation in English through topics and content of psychology, well-being and self-help. The presentation is designed so that the person shares their comments on several occasions and elaborates responses using common vocabulary, improving conversation, fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The content is about positive psychology topics, where tools for life are acquired, through information and reflection exercises. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, gratitude, habits, resilience, flow state, resistance to change and more are mentioned and used. You can go to our Instagram @speakfeelgrow and click on the “Sessions” featured story to see some topics that we have used in the past. They will be updated periodically. Why use positive psychology content? According to several studies, including a study conducted by Cambridge in 2022, the best method to learn a language is through immersion (exposure and engagement). This means that when we learn topics or activities that interest us, the brain activates the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, the limbic system, and the hippocampus, which are the areas of long-term memory, motivation, concentration, reward, and emotional experience. These functions together create greater receptivity to new information. It is about talking about topics that motivate and interest us to enhance learning. They are also life tools that benefit us all. The more a person opens up to talking and reflecting on their personal experiences, whether positive or negative, the more they will be able to handle life's difficulties and improve their well-being. What level should I be at? Once you understand the written and/or spoken language, and can say the basics, we can start working. It doesn't matter if your level is basic, since that's exactly what the sessions are for. When you try to create a statement with interesting content, the areas of the brain that promote learning are activated. Here, through the chat, pronunciation and grammar are corrected, new vocabulary is added, and the correct way to say what is desired is taught. The person is asked to repeat the statement "correctly" and that's how learning takes place. How long will it take to see changes? The time varies for each person, as it depends on their initial level, and if the method is compatible with their way of learning. It is recommended to evaluate if this method is suitable for you, after the first session. However, due to previous experience with people at a basic - intermediate level, changes in fluency are seen from the first two or three sessions. From the first or second session you will notice more comfort when speaking and listening to the language. What mental health benefits can I get from sessions other than language? The sessions are taught by a clinical psychologist trained in positive psychology and other therapy methods. Some of them can be used in the sessions. The topics covered encourage conversations about personal life, and only if it is of interest to the person, can they delve into it and use this space to work on certain topics through psychological guidance. Additionally, information supported by scientific evidence will be provided, on tools for greater emotional well-being based on positive psychology, and reflection on mental and personal habits will be encouraged. Important: This is NOT, nor does it seek to replace, psychological therapy. Issues that require further exploration and/or external help will be referred to a therapy or a professional as appropriate. By what means can I take the session and how many frequencies do I need? Most sessions are via Zoom. The teacher will send you the link via WhatsApp or email and at the time of your session you can access it via a device. It is recommended once a week if the session is individual. You will notice that they are very complete and you may be a little tired after the session, if you are not very familiar with the language. If the session is in a group of two or more people, it can be once or twice a week. We will talk about many interpersonal topics in the session and we may follow up during the week by sharing relevant content via WhatsApp and voice notes, also in English for both parties to continue practicing fluency and vocabulary. It can be in person in Monterrey, Nuevo León in groups of 3 or more, or within the Republic for workshops.
