Lisa Gardner Flores, Ph.D., has over thirty years of experience in the field of Applied Linguistics (English as a Second Language and Spanish). Whether teaching a small group of students, advising language instructors, or developing large-scale language programs, Lisa shares the joy of language learning with her clients.
She believes that students learn best when the course content is meaningful to them. Thus, classes are specialized to fit specific student group needs. Students can expect to receive:
- concise student learning outcomes
- engaging real-world classroom activities
- thought-provoking conversational topics
- mindful language-focused practices
- appropriate skill level development (listening, speaking, reading, writing)
- specialized vocabulary (when requested).
As a trainer, Lisa coaches program administrators and teachers to develop and revitalize language programs. She engages professional teams by using the Creative Language Design process. This effective system not only aligns school standards with the latest teaching methodologies, but it also prompts language professionals to use the attributes of curiosity, creativity and mindful awareness to enhance their pedagogical practices. Training programs are available in the Americas (North, Central and South) and Spain.
