Contact-based language teaching

Contact-based language teaching emphasizes learning a new language through active, meaningful interactions with others, whether in person or via digital platforms. Instead of focusing solely on memorizing grammar rules or vocabulary, it facilitates real communication, allowing learners to practice speaking, listening, and understanding in authentic contexts. This approach promotes natural language use, cultural understanding, and confidence, often involving conversation exercises, group activities, and immersive experiences. By engaging directly with the language in social settings, learners develop practical skills more effectively and gain a deeper connection to the language and its speakers.
