We discuss how to use the Museum of Knowledge to practice grammar. Students who wish to learn a language will always need to fully understand the importance of grammar. Grammar adds fluidity to a linguist’s proficiency and comprehension.

The Museum of Knowledge intermediate and advanced language learning business modules include exercises that are embroiled in grammar. Every language from English to French will have some similarities in terms of grammar however there will always be differences between the varying languages a student wishes to learn.

Using grammar to create cohesive sentences

The idea that a student can learn a language without grasping high levels of grammatical understanding is a false one. The Museum of Knowledge adapts its modules in such a way so that students can enjoy grammatical exercises and also be supported by a linguist on the platform. Perfecting grammar ensures that language learners stand apart from their peers. The advantages of good grammar are extensive including the language learner’s ability to create sentences that are well constructed and cohesive.

The best way to learn a language; a live teacher or virtual learning

The best way to learn a language; a live teacher or virtual learning is assessed by the Museum of Knowledge team. Students may seek face-to-face learning or they may prefer learning via other learning techniques namely, virtual learning or e-learning. What are the benefits of taking language courses in a traditional college or classroom environment? It is always advantageous to have a teacher to refer to, to whom students can pose numerous questions.

The physical presence of a teacher can also provide students with detailed explanations of text and grammar and give students live feedback on pronunciation of content, spelling or written texts. However this type of language learning is very expensive especially for those who wish to learn more than one language at a time. The Museum of Knowledge combines online learning with teacher support via responses to questions as part of the module. Although this may not always be provided as a live service it is highly useful to students who can summarize their questions so that teachers can easily address their needs and provide suitable responses.

We explain to potential users how topics on the Museum of Knowledge language programmes are structured. The Museum of Knowledge covers topics in a unique way thanks to its credentials as an online language learning provider and private museum.

 

Museum of Knowledge topics and industry expertise

The Museum of Knowledge is dedicated to the creative services industry and luxury hospitality brands, therefore language learning topics are skewed towards these disciplines for advanced and business language learners of Spanish, French, English, Dutch, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, German, and Italian. The museum also covers social engagement topics for intermediate language learners in these eight languages.

 

Creating language modules for the Museum of Knowledge programme

Some language providers may include other sectors in their language learning programmes as an ad hoc add on such as finance, but the Museum of Knowledge does not focus on this sector therefore industry insights and topics will always be structured towards the creative services industry including technology and /or the hospitality sector disciplines that the Museum of Knowledge is an expert in.
