2.0 Lingua Vista Study Programme
Lingua Vista
Lingua Vista Study Programme was written with help
from two leading universities in Central Europe:
Charles‘ University and the Teacher Training
Faculty of the University of Southern Bohemia.
Lingua Vista was written with help from students and

staff who saw ways to make self-study easy.
Pronunciation
Pronunciation is an important element.
Students are able to study the fundamentals of regular and irregular
spelling, and discover for themselves the patterns, intonation and logic
of English pronunciation.
Lingua Vista Exercise Programme
Complementing Lingua Vista Study

Programme is the Exercise Programme.
This is a series of 150 graded exercises that allow the
learner to discover at his or her own pace, the
underlying patterns that structure English
conversation as a flowing, self-regulating process.
The process of learning English
Of course, it’s not all “easy”.

There are challenges, but we encourage students
to learn and progress at every opportunity, at their
own pace with a tutor to guide them on the path.
It is important to “skip” areas of difficulty and
come back to them later when more
understanding has been assimilated.
Besides pronunciation and conversation there is of

course, the structure of English to understand. English is such an
unruly language where rules of grammar barely have much influence
that we hesitate to use the word “grammar”.
Principles of Natural Harmony
Instead, at Study Direct, we prefer students to

focus on the underlying principles of harmony that
allow learners to make rapid progress once they
have
identified the underlying principles or “pattern”.
(Harmonic Principles underlie all languages and apply to other areas of

learning that help us understand natural phenomena: science,
mathematics and
music, but this is another story!)

What holds this evolving picture together?
English is an evolving language and an essential

tool to all who want to work study, travel or
trade internationally.
We want to make this process as simple, as
natural as painless and as enjoyable as possible.
This is why we choose to start off by using the
learner’s own language as the medium of
instruction.
Language learning is so much easier in your own
language first, rather than being told by a native speaker “that’s just the
way it is”!
Learn at your own pace

You can learn as fast or as slowly as you like: because there are no
classrooms - the World is your classroom!
However, we recommend regular dedicated study for at least 40 minutes
a day.
Conversation
Regular conversation is also an important component. It is important to
learn at your own pace rather than be expected to understand everything
at first.
English as a “living system”

English is an intriguing language.
You will learn about its history, its evolution, its vocabulary, UK and US
discrepancies and above all else, its practical application in the modern
world.
Beginners and experienced learners

Of course, you may have studied English
already, in which case this is a great help.
But do not worry if you are a beginner.
“Beginner’s Mind” free of pre-conceptions is an
ideal way to learn. Be assured, there is not just
one way to learn English.
There are lots of different ways: listening,
reading, writing and speaking.
Lingua Vista is designed to allow you to discover the ways that suit you
best and allow you to fit learning around the needs of your social and
professional life.
Enjoy the journey!

Above all else, have fun! Do not think that
sitting in a classroom is the only way to make
progress. Real progress begins when the
lesson ends!
Social and cultural life

The most impressive learners learn by having
English-speaking friends and
not being afraid of making mistakes.
Cultural and social life is an important part of language learning.

This is why all our learners have access to regular social events where
they can meet new friends and engage with UK culture.
The future
Lingua Vista has openings for language specialists who want to play a
part in creating the next-generation of language learning materials.
We are interested in speaking to course contributors who can specialise
in
any of the following languages:
• Japanese
• Greek
• Russian
• Chinese
• Spanish
• Arabic
• Korean
• Hindi and other languages of India
Career openings
For those of you who make progress
We have careers for Lingua Vista graduates
who want to be TEFL coaches and tutors.
All you need do is demonstrate your
dedication and competence and be invited to
attend a TEFL certification course at our
Offshore Campus near Kalamata, Greece.

opportunity of living and working in the city and country of your choice,
running your own e-school or English Language Consultancy.

In practice
1. We show you how to use education, learning on demand as a tool for
lifelong engagement.
2. You can invest in your own language school or business school to look
after long-term learning needs.
3. You can sponsor Whole Person Development for your staff and prospective
recruits.
4. We support your own company as a Learning Organisation, or E-Campus.
5. For companies and professionals conducting cross-border business, Study

Direct is ready to provide company-wide, self-managed learning of English
as a Foreign Language for all staff. Access to courseware includes access
to individual coaching and mentoring support, online and in person, on
demand. See Lingua Vista specification for details.
For those who want to know more
• Consider the principles of Whole Person Development as applied to

Business Fitness
• Consider what this means for you and your organisation in practice
• Look at costs and benefits
Firms are like bodies. They need to be looked after and have fewer problems
when they are kept healthy.
Do you want to develop your business as a whole, or just a specific part of it?
Is that all you want to do?
Developing efficiency in the IT department might also help sales, and sales admin
and customer relations and staff morale.
Managers are used to managing a bit of the business.
The best managers are those able to view their roles as meaningfully connected
to the rest of the whole.
Holistic Business is our speciality. This is not theory!

Business success depends not on knowledge, but how you apply that know-how
and the connections you and your staff make, to innovate, adapt and manage
creativity.
For all intermediaries
We provide start-ups and next-generation entrepreneurs and Social

Entrepreneurs with the appropriate structure to do business including LLP,
company limited by guarantee or co-operative formation.

We also provide resources, contacts, access to expertise and consultancy for
ongoing enterprise support, so business can get started and commence
operations with the minimum of fuss.
Brand management and multi-cultural advice come as standard!
We only work through business advisors who are competent to take a holistic
view of client needs.
We run courses and training for professionals to take long-term planning as a
component of their perspective.
We can provide access to training and continuing professional development for

next-generation lawyers. See www.spr-law.com and www.legalpractitioner.co.uk.
As part of our commitment to sustainable business practice we invite law

specialists who want to extend their influence and make inroads into new markets
– in the English-speaking world, Europe and Asia.
We welcome both accountants and lawyers who seek to provide mediation

services and dispute settlement, through membership of ADR Group.
See www.adrgroup.co.uk.
For intermediaries and clients
Clients can receive advice on: sustainability, CSR, advice on new markets, IT
support, marketing support, advice on entering new market sectors, HR,
communications, web services, translation, localisation and design as part of a
complete perspective.
The benefit to the client realises immediate savings - simply by not having to
spend money with a plethora of different agencies!
The result is a coherent perspective on how to do business to maximum effect

with minimum exposure to risk.
The result of a coherent unifying perspective to operate from not only

communicates itself more readily to customers, but is also, above all else, simple
to understand and easy to manage.
Consider the business case
A leading Japanese bank recently conducted a research project and found that
being aware of the commercial context was fundamental to risk management and
successful investment. They found four defining ages of wealth creation.
First came the Agricultural Age. Landowning and agriculture held the keys to
wealth creation.
Then came the Industrial Age. Fortunes were created from investment in industry.
Then came the Information Age. Success depends not on what you own but the
use of information and the processing thereof.
Witness the first investors in Microsoft, now amongst the wealthiest on the
planet.
We are now in the fourth phase – the Creative Age. Prosperity depends not on
knowledge, but how we use that knowledge to innovate.

Commercial success goes to those who innovate and display a flair for responding
creatively to secure advantage.
The next step
The canny investor is the one who takes an interest in investing in sustainable
community development, for that is the way of the future!
The canny strategist is one with an interest in design and creative services, for
creativity is not set to go out of fashion in the near future!
Moreover, creative services, allied to holistic perspectives for sustainable

community and long-term prosperity are the specialisation of Design School of
Central Europe.

4.0 Zen and Social Enterprise
Zen Buddhism brings an understanding of material laws and an insight into

universal principles that govern life and our interactions as part of the web of life.
How is this relevant?
Understanding the way of the world that the way the world works is of central
relevance to those in charge of managing business, dealing with uncertainty, and
managing change.
Buddhism is also about an understanding of the connection between thought and

action.
Thought without action, is fine.
Action without thought is a recipe for disaster.
Have you ever wondered why things go wrong?

Often, because the proper planning, design, mindfulness, awareness and
attention were somehow not brought to bear.
Awareness is important, simply because the products of our actions, do not last
forever, this is the way of the world.
When an organisation is based on sustainable principles it runs itself like a
garden, or eco-system. Just as a garden renews itself, spring follows winter, and
can be cultivated accordingly.
Sustainable action - the sustainable enterprise is all about planning,

understanding and design – all of which can be readily accessed – through
thought.
Thought, without action? What good does that do?
Thought can lead to contemplation, and contemplation can lead to understanding.

Understanding readily translates into an active response of care – care for the
future and those within our responsibility.
A company that does not care, or does not know how to care, does not last long.

A company that cares can address its future and the interests of its customers,
and can learn to find its own way that is responsible, sustainable and rewarding.
Enterprise and Social Enterprise
Mission
In the connected economy, Charities need to be more like businesses – providing
services in return for donations.
Businesses need to be more like Charities, addressing individual needs, serving

community, spreading Fair Trade and responding responsibly.
Commission
For those with a business blueprint, is it desirable to replicate that blueprint as
widely as possible on a sustainable basis?
If people are committed and professional, does it matter if those licensees are
enterprises or distribute rewards on a sustainable basis, as a social enterprise?
Finance
Does it matter if a franchise fee is payable upfront in advance, or monthly on a
rolling basis, or is it more important that it runs sustainable basis?
Structure
If a franchise mobilises brand values that are positive and deliver benefits to
community, does that make it easier or harder to find a sponsor, supporter or
investor?
Sustainable values
Does it matter if an organisation is sustainable, or not?
Ethos and strategy

If a company wishes to diversify, does it help or hinder that new venture to
reinforce existing brand values?
Applied correctly, is it better or wise to engage in Win-Win strategy or Win-Lose?
The support economy

Is it better to provide a service that people need and supports them, or only to
provide a service that suits your existing set-up. Is it better to be product-driven,
or market-led?
Are you prepared for change, or is that out of the question? See:
www.supporteconomy.com

directly.
