Meditation

​

​​​

Language meditation is an embodied approach to language teaching and learning developed in Shanghai between 2016-2019 by Federica Buonsante. It combines the Chinese Four Arts(四艺) with the English Language Arts of listening, reading, writing and speaking to achieve attentive practice, repetition and contextual understanding. ​

​

Each session is designed to support learners in developing linguistic confidence at their first stages while cultivating a deeper relationship with words, sounds and cultural meanings.

 

Through dialogue, imagination and creative exploration, language becomes not only a tool for communication, but also a space for connection, discovery and creative expression.​

​

The format adapts across different creative modules depending on group and context. 

Designed in Shanghai for schools, language camps and organizations working with international, multilingual groups.

All formats can be delivered in-person or remotely (online), and adapted in duration and group size to fit your program.

​

Available in:

  • Chinese (up to HSK 4) to Italian speakers

  • English  (up to C1) to Chinese and Italian speakers

  • Italian for Chinese and English speakers
