“Safe Haven” offre una serie di esperienze, trattamenti e formazione per aiutare coloro che cercano sostegno a gestire lo stress in modo più efficace.

✨✨Perché Safe Haven?✨✨

Haven è una parola inglese che significa “luogo sicuro, rifugio o pace”. È spesso abbinata alla parola “safe” (sicuro), che rafforza l'idea di sicurezza e protezione. Un rifugio sicuro è un luogo che offre riparo, protezione e pace.

Le attività di “Safe Haven” sono offerte senza pressioni, manipolazioni o avidità e mirano a fornire un luogo sicuro in cui le persone possano esprimere sentimenti ed emozioni a volte difficili senza essere giudicate, controllate, messe in competizione o influenzate dall'ego.

La sicurezza personale, emotiva e psicologica è al centro delle attività di Safe Haven.

Development of language learning skills

During a 21 year career in English teaching in Italy with adults, mainly in a business context, and with adolescents, children and very young children, experience teaches that measuring language learning can be done in number of ways.

The traditional routes being homework, exams, accreditation and assessment are always valid however, progress in language learning can be measured with softer indicators such as the application of language skills to social, interpersonal, personal and affective situations.

The psychology of language learning is an intricate process but in my experience applying and incorporating language skills with the following can enhance the overall language learning process

· Working to limit or remove blocks to learning
· Giving and receiving constructive feedback, • Facilitating a two-way process
• Asking for help or support
· Structured writing in the target language

And also

· Dreaming in the target language
· Expressing heartfelt emotion
· Working through uncomfortable emotions
· Releasing stress and dealing with burnout

Progress in the development of these softer skills indicates absorption of the target language into real life situations whether they be practical or ideas based and indicates that language skills have truly been absorbed and assimilated not only in the language centres of the brain but also in the brain’s emotive centres.

Seeing learning language as a personal development and not solely a language development strategy reaps much more positive results than a standalone traditional grammar or structures based programme.

And from a business point of view this also saves valuable financial resources as not only are language skills developed but that these are contextualised into skills which are broadly relevant to the working environment, making participants more productive in the long run in the work environment.

Happy people - happy organisation - happy clients
Equals - more productivity

Did you catch how the verb ‘look’ changes to ‘looked’ when converting from direct to reported speech? This is because of a rule called backshifting (or backshift of tenses). Here’s why this happens: • In reported speech, if the reporting verb (“said,” “told,” etc.) is in the past tense, you usually shift the tense of the verb in the original quote one step back in time. • So, present simple (“look”) becomes past simple (“looked”), present continuous becomes past continuous, present perfect becomes past perfect, etc. Example: • Direct: He said, “You look tired.” • Reported: He said (that) I looked tired. Why do we do this? • It shows that the statement was made in the past. • It helps clarify that you are reporting what someone said, not what is true right now. It’s not just grammar—it’s how we keep stories straight.📝 #EnglishTips #GrammarHack #EnglishEnjoyed #LearnEnglish #BritishEnglish #LanguageLearning #EnglishGrammar #EnglishVocabulary #RefinedReels
