language coaching
Language coaching is a term which normally refers to English language learning and teaching but with a special emphasis on a coach encouraging learner independence or autonomous learning in higher-level learners of the language. As a greater proportion of the globalised world uses English as a lingua franca, there are also greater numbers of competent users of English who benefit more from a coach providing language support than a teacher in the traditional sense. In a globalised world, English communication and personal success are increasingly interdependent and thus language coaching has aspects in common with life coaching.
