Episode 312: EwK312 - Language identity coaching with Christina

Christina and I met recently on LinkedIn and found that we have 3 languages in common! Rather than letting the easiest one for communication become the norm for us, we’re trying to use all of them … However, this podcast episode is only in English! I was curious about Christina’s work with language identity and I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore further on the podcast. We talked about • Christina’s own language and identity story and how she became interested in her additional languages • The role of a language identity coach and what the term “language identity” means. • How we can deal with situations in another language that don’t come up in our first language. • The importance of positive associations with a language and how we can create new associations if our past experiences weren’t so good • Practical tips to explore and strengthen our language identities and incorporate the other language/s into our everyday lives.
