Why settle for the superficial and the artificial counterfeits of learning, language, and communication, when you can discover the wonder of authentic integral human learning and communication?
Come and discover how E4L ENGLISH4LIFE will help you detect, identify, and unlearn the false assumptions and unhealthy habits that have held you back from excellence in learning for life. See through the blind spots and break free of straitjackets and debilitating ploys that — under the name of “foreign languages”, “learning” and “education” — have misled and estranged countless learners from savoring the wonder of language, learning, and life, and have instead disabled, discouraged, and disempowered them.
Do not settle any longer for gilded imitations of learning that fail to honor your inalienable integrity and witness your innate human ability. Break the chains and transcend the dehumanizing double bind of 1.) misguided, artificial, robotic modes of human behavior that treat you like a robot, reducing you to a mere “performance machine”, and 2.) artificial systems devoid of humanness that, under the pretense of "intelligence", are optimized to “appear” more and more human. Both of these illusions are deviations from authentic ways of learning with integrity and both of them rob you of the opportunity to discover who you truly are and grow into human excellence by unlocking and developing the two greatest gifts with which you have been endowed: your core intellect and your will power.
Together, your intellect and will are the gifts that configure your life’s wondrous quest, a quest which will demand the discovery and development of your singularly unique awareness, insight, appreciation, care, responsibility, and life of action so that you may become who you truly are. Your truly real intelligence and your truly real will power have been granted to you so that in their harmonious interplay, you may come to live a wholesome life of integrity unto fulfillment. In other words, the radiance of integrity longs to shine through you. The voice of vocation longs to be spoken through your life.
This is a calling you can neither refuse nor outsource. It is your singularly unique and inalienable human calling; the calling to which you are able to respond and to which you must respond. In this calling lies your responsibility for becoming who you truly are. It is your very obligation and your right, and nothing less than your life’s wondrous quest! So, come! Have the courage to embark upon your life-enriching quest! Discover excellence in learning and develop eloquence in communication and witness how inspiring and meaningful a life of wonder, discovery, appreciation, care, and responsibility can be! E4L ENGLISH4LIFE is committed to accompanying you on your journey.
Let go of the misguided notion of English as a "foreign language”. This has already misled countless capable learners from witnessing the wonder of language, learning, and life and being true to their calling. On the one hand, the notion of “foreign language” has made myriad learners believe that language learning is nothing but an unfortunate and nonsensical formal expectations imposed by educational institutions; one that lacks true purpose, meaning, and use, and is thus “pointless”. On the other hand, legions have succumbed to misguided ambition, imagining language to be nothing but a functional, utilitarian tool to be exploited, tamed, mastered and twisted so that it does the bidding of their self-serving political and business agendas. And then there are those who were neither neglectful and dismissive nor selfish and manipulative in their approach to language and learning, but who lost heart; those for whom another language was so “foreign” that the prospect of ever coming close to its shores triggered anxiety, insecurity, and reluctance, and eventually became hopeless and unimaginable.
In all such cases (and countless more), the false assumption that the language one is encountering is a “foreign language” (and all that follows from this) has staggering consequences, diverting the language’s potential loving, knowing friends, blowing them off course and even (mis)leading them into catastrophe. Why? For the simple reason that the various languages one has acquired are all means for the realization of who one truly is, and to set them up against one another and call some “foreign” and then proceed to lead a misguided and troubled relationship with them only leads to further estrangement from the wholesome engagement with the fullness of life to which we are called.
So, as a professional with more than 25 years of experience in the capacity of a teacher, pedagogue, education consultant, university instructor, proofreader and editor — not to mention a lifelong learner who happens to navigate the waters of life via the English language — I humbly offer the following advice: don’t “learn” English as a “foreign” language. Instead, open up and get to know English as a wonderful language, embracing it as a lifelong companion and friend, as a wondrous gateway through which you can come to know who you truly are and thrive in the various domains of your life, ranging from the personal to the familial to the social to the professional! Do not alienate yourself from language, learning and life, and do not alienate them from yourself. Get to know one another in a truly humble, wondrous and beautiful way!
Come and open up to the inspiration and joy of language, learning, and life like never before!
Savor the wonder of language and the love of learning for a life worth living!
