Talking Foreign initiates a process of personal growth that reaffirms the identity of the participant and supports his self-assurance in the intercultural communication. The participants will recognise cultural differences and perceive them as opportunities rather than barriers.
As one of the most vital and decisive experiences in the life of any individual, language is a relationship that changes with every person you talk with, with every day that passes, in the ever-changing experience of becoming older or being old.
Moreover, the mobility of our society has led to a changing view of the language and has incorporated global terminology and semantics. Another central point to the language issue is the breath-taking pace in which our society develops through new technologies. The language barrier is not any longer a big ocean to cross but a mobile device to go around with.
The language that we are addressing in our workshop has the common structure of every human language in a linguistic, neurobiological and social sense, and in the framework of Talking Foreign, the terminology and semantics of the English language will acquire the character of a lingua franca (ELF).
