Open to all: Learning is a language skill. Teach it. (Christa Wuethrich)

Learning is a language skill. Teach it. Language learning is a challenge. How do you support learners with learning it?

We would never hand a child a violin and call them untalented for not playing Mozart. Yet we hand them reading passages, writing tasks, and vocabulary lists and wonder why learning feels so difficult for some students. The truth is simple: learning is a skill. And skills can be taught. In this engaging and thought-provoking webinar, Christa Wuethrich - teacher, education journalist, founder of enduri, and mother of four - explores one of education's most overlooked questions:

What if the problem isn't motivation, ability, or effort? What if students simply haven't been taught how to learn the language?

Drawing on research, classroom experience, and practical examples, this session will explore how teachers can explicitly teach learning skills alongside language and literacy skills, helping students become more confident, independent, and resilient learners.

You will discover how to:

• Help students understand how learning actually works
• Make learning strategies visible and teachable
• Support students who struggle with vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, and written expression without lowering expectations
• Encourage reflection, goal-setting, and metacognitive thinking in everyday lessons
• Create classrooms where students develop both language skills and learning skills

Teachers will leave with practical, ready-to-use strategies, classroom activities, and reflection tools that can be integrated immediately into existing lessons. Throughout the session, Christa will share examples of effective practice and discuss how structured support can help learners become more successful and independent language learners. Because the most important thing students learn at school may not be on any curriculum.

It's knowing how to learn.

Christa Wuethrich joins us from enduri (www.enduri-learning.com), which focuses on one simple idea: students spend thousands of hours learning what to learn, but almost no time learning how to learn. Their platform helps children aged 9-12 develop learning skills, learning strategies, self-reflection, and confidence - the foundations of lifelong learning.
