Materials tailored to you and your students’ needs
Learning resources are at the heart of language education. True to our commitment to providing bespoke language learning solutions, the creation of our language learning materials starts with a thorough and systematic needs analysis.
Our clients have widely varying requirements; with target audiences ranging from primary pupils learning a foreign language to students in higher education seeking to improve their academic language skills. We always ensure our resources are culturally and linguistically sensitive and context-appropriate.
As diverse as your learners’ needs may be, our mission remains the same: delivering high-quality language learning resources to transform your teaching practice.
A proven approach
Our work is evidence-informed: we evaluate your situation and apply what the science tells us about effective language learning in your domain. We aim to increase relevance and motivation through a functional approach and, if relevant, according to the principles of content literacy. In our vision, this is perfectly compatible with a knowledge-rich curriculum.
Supporting teachers and learners alike
Further underpinning our philosophy is the notion of scaffolding, i.e. providing various forms of support as and when needed, enabling learners to grow and facilitating differentiated instruction.
This principle also shines through in our attention to metacognition and the development of self-regulated strategies. In foreign language learning, we pay attention to reducing cognitive load through automatization, where needed gamifying the learning experience to stimulate learner engagement and motivation.
TILLIT’s learner-first philosophy
Ultimately, language learning can and should be fun and meaningful. Combining compelling and comprehensible input with opportunities for scaffolded interaction, learners get to experience the thrill of success and increase their belief in their own language abilities.
