| Popis | Detailed and thorough preparation is often considered key to good teaching practice. As much as this might be true, in counselling practice, frequently this approach cannot be applied, and might even be found counterproductive. This presentation is going to look at the less comfortable aspects of counselling students, and its ambition is to help counsellors feel more comfortable around helping students with any issues they might have. The challenges counsellors are facing are numerous - limited time, limited frequency, building trust within that limited time, spotting the issue, knowing what might help and many more. The talk will draw upon personal counselling experience and will mostly deal with topics related to progress, motivation, success (recognising students´ success, acknowledging it and building upon it), as students of languages, from their perspective, often fail to realise the progress they are making. It might then be the role of the counsellor to help them see that, as he or she can look at their three-month-long learning period from a different perspective and, making good use of his or her notes and of course her expertise, can pinpoint the critical steps on the learning journey to the student by asking the right questions or just listening carefully. The talk, though not interactive will provide examples, as well as students´ success stories and offer some tips to think about before the next counselee enters your office. |
