Online Courses To Avoid Adult Language Learners' Drop Out
_Research results obtained from the survey covering 26 language schools who provide Estonian language courses for new immigrants in Estonia revealed that the drop-out rate reaches up to 30 percent of the participants. ImmiSoft Ltd together with the Integration Research Institute decided to develop a special Estonian language e-course and several other e-learning materials that would better cater to the needs of adult English-speaking newcomers in Estonia, eliminating the common drop-out reasons.
Our experience from previous adaptation courses has revealed that new immigrants are in difficulty in finding suitable language courses that would correspond to their needs. Although the adaptation program for new immigrants in Estonia has been implemented since 2009, it has not solved the problem.
Research results obtained from the survey covering 26 language schools who provide Estonian language courses for new immigrants in Estonia (conducted by Mart Rannut and Ulle Rannut in 2009) revealed that the drop-out rate reaches up to 30 percent of the participants. Main drop-out reasons (42%) affecting attendance concerned changes in employment: losing or finding a job, change of workplace or of work shifts, extensive business travel, etc. 8 percent of drop-out cases were caused by moving to another place and 5% due to family reasons.
In the case of free language courses financial reasons for drop-out vanish, however, factors connected to low learning motivation become much more important (17% of drop-out cases), as participants regard the course requirements too high, the course too intensive and difficult. Ironically, language school managers were on the opinion that the drop-out might be even more extensive in this case, reaching a quarter from the total number of starters. Though the reasons (employment, family, etc.) for missing classes were allegedly the same for all courses, however, the motivation in catching up one’s co-learners among those attending free course was much lower than among those who had paid for it, resulting in drop-out.
_Our experience from previous adaptation courses has revealed that new immigrants are in difficulty in finding suitable language courses that would correspond to their needs. Most of the surveyed participants had unsuccessfully participated in some language course already and the reasons listed for drop-out were that the vocabulary taught in these courses did not correspond their needs, the course was too intensive or that the language of instruction was (unexpectedly) Russian, the language that they did not know.
Although the adaptation program for new immigrants in Estonia has been developed by the author of the current article and has been implemented since 2009, it has not solved the problem here. The main reason is that adaptation courses in Estonia are project-based, thus the course provider is every time different, the number of participants is usually limited and restricted to certain areas and target groups, these courses are offered only once a year and the language of instruction is mainly Russian. These courses are also very intensive (ca 10 hours of classes a week) which leads to a high drop-out rate.
One of the English-speaking new immigrants shared his experience after participating in one of these Estonian language courses: "I found myself alone there with about fifteen Russian speakers, whom I doubt will ever learn Estonian, no matter how many courses they attend. At that time, all of the other English speakers from our integration program who were placed with me in the class had already fallen away. So, with only me left over, the medium of instruction immediately changed to Russian. The classroom situation for me is a waste of time having to listen to other people making mistakes. Also, as I work long hours and at different times on shifts, this makes attending classes impossible."
This was the reason why ImmiSoft Ltd together with the Integration Research Institute decided to develop a special Estonian language e-course and several other e-learning materials that would better cater to the needs of adult English-speaking newcomers in Estonia, eliminating the common drop-out reasons.
For this reason Integration Research Institute develop a special Estonian language e-course for Newcomers in Estonia.
_ E-courses enable to overcome constraints limiting newcomers' adaptation and integration in Estonia, make adaptation and language learning programs permanent and financially accessible. As e-courses are available in Internet, participants can visit each lesson whenever it is suitable for them and as many times as they need, thus, they cannot miss the class any more. They bring learning activities and personal tutoring to all participants 24/7 wherever they are, which eliminates most of the drop out reasons. Learners can decide what topics to choose and when is the best time to learn for them which should increase motivation. The other beneficial aspect is the affordable price as it makes the whole language learning process much cheaper for learners.
_It is becoming increasingly important to learn foreign languages these days. People with more than one language on their CVs stand definitely a better chance of employment. Every new language looks good on your resume. However, learning languages can be very difficult for some people who tend to struggle through language learning courses and lessons.
___The brainwave entrainment is a way to safely and effectively alter your brains learning and memory abilities without the use of drugs or medications. Sound waves can be used to adjust the brain’s operating frequencies to promote healthy and efficient memory enhancement.
Research has found that the ideal state for learning is when the brain is in a relaxed, but aware state. At this point the brainwaves run at about 8 to 12 cycles per seconds and this is called the alpha state. Alpha frequencies are found to be useful for learning purposes in many ways. Research results reveal that in a relaxed state of mind learners memorize new words more easily. When using soothing sounds with brainwave entrainment technology that stimulates alpha brain waves, learners will be more relaxed and it will help them to absorb new information more easily.
Binaural beats are produced by the brain when a different tone is played in each ear (such as a 200 hz tone in one ear and a 207 hz tone in the other). Your brain will then manufacture a third "phantom" tone that will be the difference between the two tones. So, for example, if a 200 hz tone is played in one ear and a 207 hz tone in the other, your brain will produce a "wah wah" sound that pulses precisely at 7 hz. 7 hz is associated with a relaxing theta brainwave state. When such brainwave entrainment tones are inserted into the background of soothing relaxation music or nature sounds, it enhances the effect the music has on the listener's brainwaves. It usually takes steady repetition for 6 minutes or longer to entrain the brain (it varies from person to person) which is why most brainwave entrainment products are between 15 minutes to an hour in length.
_ In ordinary awareness everything your hear, read or learn is filtered through short term memory and analytical processes and much of it never reaches long term memory. With brainwave entrainment you can learn and remember things with much less repetition because the brainwave entrainment induces relaxed state of awareness where learning and memory functions are greatly increased. In this brainwave state new words and phrases you hear go straight into long term memory which is where language is stored.
_The whole-brain language instruction, for example, enhances the learning experience with soothing music, brainwave entrainment and colors. Teachers play music while reading definitions of the new words, leaving time for listeners to draw images of the words or they use guided meditation to build a relaxed state containing memories of success before the listeners hear the definitions again. Research results have confirmed that in a relaxed state of mind you will memorize new words more easily. When using soothing sounds with brainwave entrainment technology that stimulates your alpha brain waves, you will be more relaxed and it will help you to absorb new information much easily. As lower brainwaves increase the ability to think in a creative manner, this puts the brain into a creative mode of thinking.
Researchers have found that certain music types (e.g. baroque music) ease the brainwaves into the relaxed 'alpha state' that is ideal for learning. Guiding the brain into a specific frequency is aided by computer generated rhythmic pulses of sound, also called isochronic tones, so the brain can synchronize to a desired frequency. Guiding the brain to faster or higher frequencies has been shown to stir creativity and motivation while switching to lower or deeper frequencies can induce states of relaxation and calm. The use of music in the classroom can make the entire learning process more enjoyable and can stimulate "right" brain learning.
_Conscious blockage is a common reason for people to have difficulty retrieving memories. The Theta brain state actually creates an environment where conscious blockage is removed. Theta is the realm of the subconscious mind. In it, you can tap into the great amount of power it wields.
_ One study concluded that the subconscious mind is where the majority of mental function happens, and it is a powerhouse of wisdom and knowledge that usually goes untapped. It is also where many memories reside when they are not retrieved for a long time. When you get the sensation of suddenly remembering something, it's often because the subconscious is opened up in some way by something you see or hear. With help of brainwave entrainment and subliminal hypnosis you can access your subconscious mind directly in the theta state. In this state, you can access events, feelings, and situations that may have been previously blocked out. The theta stage (4hz - 7Hz) has been found to increase learning capabilities. Therefore using brainwave entrainment sounds during language learning you can improve tremendously your learning results. Brainwave Entrainment for language Learning! Free Samples!
_Why and How EFT Tapping can help you to acquire new languages more easily
_People who feel resistance and have difficulties in language learning usually claim that at some point in their life they have had previous unsuccessful experiences when learning a new language. This means that they have been told that they are not talented enough or they had to compare themselves with other students who seemed to be more talented. Thus they tend to believe that as they have failed before they are going to fail again. However, they probably failed because of several other reasons that have nothing to do with their ability to learn langauges (e.g. ineffective teaching methods). Although they left school long time ago and things are different now, yet they still feel as if they are sitting in the classroom doomed to fail.
We have a habit of pushing away uncomfortable and difficult experiences. These then wind up in what Carl Jung called the "Shadow," the part of ourself that has been suppressed or disowned. Shadow is the darkest side of your beliefs. This is referred by Gary Craig as a "comfort zone" which forms a ceiling on your progress.Your mind is a cybernetic mechanism – if your teachers have programmed you to be unsuccessful, your comfort zone puts limits to your progress and forces you back to your failure because this is your comfort zone. It’s your subconscious rejection of and your deepest internal blocks to success. Beliefs become habits, and habits are nothing more than self-hypnosis. The unresolved inner blocks contribute to self-sabotage and prevent you to learn languages. This is why you feel sometimes stuck in a negative experience which seems to repeat itself over and over again. Whenever you get into a situation that doesn't seem safe, the subconscious mind will disrupt the energy system and you will feel uncomfortable.
_Many people who have tried EFT Tapping technique say that it helps them to overcome obstacles in language learning (e.g. frustration, stress, procrastination, poor memory, fear of failure) and make them much more successful. These elements of our shadow are often festering just below the surface, begging for attention and healing. When we start to use Emotional Freedom Technique, these shadow elements may come to the surface. It is clearing your limiting unconscious beliefs and emotions which you may be even not aware of.
Through EFT tapping techniques, you will learn to release negative thoughts and emotions and shift your energy from failure to success. Emotional Freedom Technique will not do the learning for you, but you can use EFT to overcome your negative past school experience. For example, Dr. Dawson Church told that he had always thought of himself as "one of those people who can't learn other languages easily," in contrast to some people who are effortlessly multilingual. He also tried a German class as an undergrad, with equal humiliating failure.
___Then one day, he thought "I wonder if I could learn faster using EFT?" He tapped while repeating Spanish phrases, and though he could not feel any difference in his body after tapping, his Spanish came along rapidly. He tapped away his frustration as he learned the phrases. Then, one day, the frustration just melted during EFT, and he began to "get" the language and enjoyed mastering the challenges.
EFT helps learning in two ways: at first, it works psychologically by removing the uneasiness and emotional resistance that sometimes accompany novel experiences, and secondly, it works physically by facilitating the acquisition of new neural pathways in the brain, a process known as neurogenesis. EFT tapping rounds will literally break you out of the prison of your past programming. EFT relaxes the body, and makes the mind receptive. The frustration usually associated with learning new skills can then dissolve, and you can make quick progress.
Using Emotional Freedom Techniques, you can easily overcome your own personal blocks to learning any foreign language. All those negative and self-defeating beliefs about language learning will melt away, and language learning becomes much more enjoyable and easy. Thus, you have a secret tool literally at your fingertips that will help you to learn as many languages as you need.

Adaptation Club for Newcomers in Estonia - Estonian Langauge, Society & Culture
Considering the needs of newcomers in Estonia since October the new adaptation e-course was launched by the Integration Research institute in Estonia.
The adaptation e-course which makes the Estonian language learning accessible for all English-speaking expatriates in Estonia teaches the Estonian language and culture and provides knowledge about life and society in Estonia. The main focus is on Estonian language teaching at the level of A2 which is integrated with several topics providing knowledge about life, culture and society in Estonia. With language learning videos we walk you through various communication situations of your everyday life and show you how to communicate more effectively in Estonia. According to the needs and wishes of the participants help and advice in socio-economic issues is provided as well. For those interested, we also organize excursions and gatherings for special occasions. After graduation participants will receive a certificate.
The course includes 68 topics: - Estonian language course (48 topics), 48 worksheets, 80 videos,ca 80 interactive exercises - Cross-cultural communication course (12 topics), articles, slides and videos. - Estonian society and life (8 topics): webinars and lectures online (e.g. via skype) covering various topcis of society and life in Estonia, individual counselling according to the interestes and needs of participants. http://www.integrationresearch.net/adaptation-course.html
Our E-courses are designed by professional teacher trainers and researchers. Language teaching methodology used in these courses help you to learn Estonian much faster and with much better results. Teaching methods used in these courses help you to acquire correct grammar forms and correct pronunciation in a natural way that is much faster and without any hard work or stress, as we know how to use the natural learning ability of your brain. In addition, in the e-course you won't waste your time by listening and absorbing your co-learners' wrong pronunciation and mistakes, thus making you more successful as well.
E-learning environment in these courses supports you 24/7,you may visit each lesson when it is suitable for you and as many time as you need on your own pace. Video-based, easy to use and convenient, they bring interactive learning activities and personal tutoring to you 24/7.Through video-tutoring and explanations on your worksheets you will learn Estonian grammar and cultural matters. Interactive tasks give you instant feedback and help you to practice your skills without any stress or need to pay for personal tutors. You receive free personal counselling anytime you need. You may attend our webinars (lectures) covering various topics and join our private chatroom.
Topics and vocabulary cover your everyday needs in Estonia. Topics are selected according to our previous research on the adaptation courses for new immigrants in Estonia, therefore these correspond to your real needs in Estonia. There is a lot of useful information integrated into these topics concerning Estonian society and life. You can also choose your own topics and design your own curriculum. As it is an e-course, our materials are always updated and present current vocabulary and facts which is often not the case with other printed course books (e.g. everyday language use and relevant information concerning Estonian society, life and other matters that you should know in order to cope in Estonia etc).
We live in a society where almost everything comes ready made so that we can get results without too much effort. Thus, we expect seeing results even in language learning immediately after we have put some effort into it. But when we don't see the results immediately, we start to get discouraged and frustrated.
Learning a language is a bit like planting seeds. We must place them in the ground at first and water them every day. But we don’t see sprouts coming out that signal the growth we have been waiting for. Thus, eventually we begin to wonder if all this effort was in vane. Maybe the teachers were bad, maybe they taught too much grammar or didn't teach it enough, maybe they didn't’t speak enough Estonian or didn't’t explain enough in English. Perhaps the Estonian language is just too hard to learn. These are the kind of thoughts that go through our minds as we try and don’t see immediately results.
And often instead of things coming better, they get worse. We feel that we have more problems now when trying to communicate in Estonian than we had before, when we spoke just English. Problems seem to increase in every area. You feel discouraged and want to give up by saying “I just don’t have time for that!” However, language acquisition is like growing a plant. At first the seed germinates and begins to sprout under the ground. The root comes out and starts to grow. And one day, quite suddenly, you notice the plant stems bursting through the surface of the earth and showing themselves.
It is easy to see this comparison when observing children's language acquisition, however, we forget that our own second or foreign language acquisition takes place exactly in the similar way. At first we are just babbling and people don’t understand us and then we get angry and frustrated because we are not children any more. We don’t know that all it needs is just patience and daily practice and effort to use it in different situations over and over again. There’s a surefire, entertaining, easy, cheap, miraculous way of improving your Estonian language skills: all you have to do is watching these language learning videos we'll send you every week. And keep doing it for the whole year.
Often we don’t notice the results but then suddenly other people begin to ask: „How did you learn to talk so well?“ And we usually don’t know it, we were just using it on a daily bases until it happened and we were suddenly fluent. It was developing all along. We just couldn't see it. But now that it has shown itself, we notice all the growth that was taking place during those days. Therefore my advise is to just relax, learn and practice your language on a daily bases a little bit and enjoy the developing process. People who are relaxed and self-confident get always better and quicker results.
At the end of 2006, according to official national statistics Eurostat services are provided in many European countries including Estonia. However, research reveals that in spite of the availability of the adaptation programs, new immigrants often fail to adapt to the new society and prefer to live in segregation. The study conducted in the Berlin Institute for Population and Development (2009) found that Turks in particular, the second largest group of immigrants after ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, are faring badly, even after decades of living in Germany. It shows that foreigners who come to live in Germany tend to remain strangers, even after 50 years and thestimates that the total number of non-nationals living in the EU Member States was 29 million, representing 5.8 % of the total EU population. More than half of these were citizens of non-EU countries. According to integration laws of many European countries, all refugees and immigrants, as well as their family members have to participate in some kind of adaptation program, one of the components being language training. The development and application of adaptation programmes and supporting services are provided in many European countries including Estonia. However, research reveals that in spite of the availability of these programmes, new immigrants often fail to adapt to the new society and prefer to live in segregation. Immigrants claim that strong ties with the local ethnic community provide support and assistance during the first days in a variety of ways and ease adaptation, however, in a long run these strong ties become an obstacle for social adaptation and mobility (Rannut 2005, 2009; Menjivar 1997). Adaptation Course for New Immigrants in Estonia
_Ward, Bochner and Furnham (2001) emphasize the significance of culturally relevant social skills and social interaction required from immigrants to survive. By observing and interviewing new immigrants in Estonia we discovered that besides social and cultural factors there are lot of individual psychological factors (e.g. feeling of isolation, low self-esteem, negative attitudes, anxiety, frustration, distress, low motivation) affecting their adjustment and success. These factors influence their choices when establishing contacts with locals and being active in job seeking, in business and in communication. Studies ofsojourners adaptation reveal that confidence in their ability to speak local language has an important influence on their actual command of the language and of the development of social relations (Sewell and Davidsen 1961). As pointed out by Lazarus (1966) individuals who are insecure are likely to seek social support from the less threatening ethnic individuals. According to the Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis a number of affective variables play a facilitative role in second language acquisition. These variables include: motivation, self-confidence and anxiety. Krashen claims that learners with high motivation, self-confidence, a good self-image, and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in second language acquisition and intergation. Low motivation, low self-esteem, and debilitating anxiety can combine to raise the affective filter and form a mental block that prevents comprehensible input from being used for acquisition.
Social class is of course a significant factor in adaptation as it typically determines the nature of social network and life chances (Portes and Rumbaut, 1990; Portes and Walton, 1981). Lower-class people are less able to control their life events and tend to experience greater distress. It is claimed that educated middle-class immigrants and those coming from urban areas cope more easily than those of the lower social classes. However, we must admit that it is not always the case because sometimes their moblility is restricted by travelling out of their country and becoming a lower non-mobile social class in the new society.
_This is confirmed also by my own research results among immigrant children (2005) and my observations among adult immigrants during the piloting of the adaptation course in Estonia (Rannut, 2009). Immigrants with low anxiety level didn’t afraid to make mistakes, communicated more often and developed more quickly social skills needed for effective communication. New immigrants with low self-confidence and higher anxiety level were less successful in language acquisition and in making new contacts, thus, they preferred to surround themselves with people from their own nationality or language group. Our self-esteem consists of positive and negative feelings we have about ourselves. An increase in our self-esteem will produce a decrease in our anxiety which leads to more effective communication and social mobility which yealding in more social contacts, better job opportunities and higher social mobility.

Secrets of Successful People - Opportunities vs Luck
The great oil billionaire, H. L. Hunt, was once asked his secret of success. He replied that success required two things, and two things only. First, he said, you must know exactly what it is you want. Most people never make this decision. Second, he said, you must determine the price that you will have to pay to achieve it, and then get busy paying that price. But maybe you think that he was just lucky? Lucky people consistently encounter lucky opportunities whereas unlucky people do not.
However, there is no such thing as luck! We all have the same amount of opportunities available. Richard Wiseman writes in his book “Luck Factor: The Four Essential Principles” that lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
He claims that unsuccessful people miss chance opportunities because they are generally too tense and anxious and focused on looking for something else. They look through newspapers, determined to find certain type of job advertisements and as a result miss other types of jobs which could be much more beneficial for them. In his research Wiseman brings a marvelous example by showing how unlucky people even missed advertisement which formed a half of the newspaper page and could solve immediately their problem. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore they see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. That is why they notice much more opportunities.
Wiseman claims that lucky people are much more persistent because they always believe that there is a solution to the problem, unlucky people give up very easily after giving their best shot. The most surprising was, however, that lucky people saw even in seemingly bad situations opportunities to make money and to turn the situation around to their fortune. Brian Tracy, a self-made millionaire states that you must be solution-oriented, instead of being problem-oriented. The more you focus on solutions, the more easily you solve your problems. It is the secret of becoming a self-made millionaire, it is a secret of great success in life.
There are cultural variations in how people understand and use time. Researchers have found that individuals are divided into two groups in the way they handle time: monochronic or linear-active cultures and polychronic or multi-active cultures.
The majority of Estonians are monochronic, especially in business. Monochronic individuals are those who prefer to complete one task at a time. This means that for Estonians’ time is is divided into segments, scheduled and compartmentalized so that people may concentrate on one matter at a time. Time is experienced and used in a linear way – comparable to a road extending from the past into the future. Schedules are sacred and deadlines ar taken seriously. For example, if it is said that the deadline for applications is at 4:00 pm on Monday, then there is no point to send it five minutes later any more. Estonians value punctuality, completing tasks, and keeping to schedules. It is expected that everything happens at exact time according to the timetable and they feel satisfied when everything goes according to the carefully planned schedule. Promptness is sacred, especially concerning business appointments. Being five minutes late calls for a brief apology; fifteen minutes needs, if possible, a phone call warning of delay. Estonian managers usually take a course on time management in order to be able to manage their time more effectively. Estonians see their future before them as it has been carefully planned. Estonians in Cross-Cultural Perspective!
_Estonians highly value their time. People talk about it though it were money, they have a wide range commonly used expressions which link time to money, such as „Aeg on raha!“ (time is money) „Iga minut on arvel!“ (every minute counts) „Kaotama aega.“ (losing time), „Ära raiska aega!“ (don’t waste time!) „Aega säästma“ or „Aega kokku hoidma“ (to save time). Estonians don’t want to wait; they want results now. Wanting quick answers and quick solutions, they are not used to waiting long periods of time for decisions or answers and become anxious when decisions are not made promptly.
Estonians want to get results quickly and hate waiting which is regarded waste of time. The same concerns communication patterns. If there is a pause longer than two seconds, Estonians think that people either do not understand them or do not have an opinion and thus, start paraphrasing or clarifying their statements to get a response. Estonians expect you to concentrate on the job at hand and focus on one client at a time. You shouldn’t pick up phone when talking to someone, it is considered as unrespectful behavior. As Estonian businesses must report all financial details quarterly, they tend to think in short term intervals. When Estonians talk about the long term plans they usually mean no more than three years.
Another manifestation of monochronous behavior is the principle “first come, first served.” There are lines everywhere. Estonians have refined their lining over the years, so that now they do this with the aid of the ticket machines which you may find absolutely everywhere. Upon entering a shop or a financial institution of any kind, you should first locate the ticket machine. You should then take a ticket. If you find that there are several kinds of tickets, you should take the one you need. Usually the ticket will show you how long you have to wait until it is your turn. When your number is finally called you have better to be there or they will skip by you to the next person and you have to take another one. The same principle concerns traffic as well, get in line and stay in line. There is wealth of traffic signs, marking lines on the street, information boards and other aids for drivers. Thus, everybody knows what is expected from him or her and from one’s co-drivers and almost no room for imagination and phantasy is left. Therefore, any adventurous maneuver not anticipated from others may bring along serious results. Estonians in Cross-Cultural Perspective!
Bradt's Estonia remains the only English-language guidebook to this Baltics destination and this sixth edition reveals more of the country than any previous guide. Readers now discover why Miss Estonia likes antique cars, where Eiffel built before Paris, and why Edward VII could not land in Tallinn to meet Tsar Nicholas II and had instead to spend three days in the harbour. Offering extensive coverage of Estonia's complex cultural history and its artists, writers and musicians, alongside comprehensive practical information, Baltics expert Neil Taylor proves that there's much more to Estonia than the cobbled streets and caf_s of Tallinn.
