The conventional, test-oriented curriculum for language learning does not compute with the idea of a holistic approach to learning. Narrow, plan-structured lessons of the standerd school system are rejected in holistic education. Instead, holistic teachers concentrate on individual learners in their class and work towards person-centered learning curricula.

By paying special attention to the traits, skills and abilities of each student, a coach or teacher can adjust the language learning strategy customised learning supports the personal growth and developement of the individuals in the class. Some effective ideas in holistic approach to language learning are :

1. Information visualisation

2. Outdoor classes

3. Individual projects, 4. Student-led classroom

4. Use of technology 6. Group activities

5. Learning through games.

Overall, this approach generates a conducive or healthy, learning environment. The approach is a breath of fresh air in the educational system. A safe and secure setting is a key to a productive, open-minded classroom. Holistic teachers are genuinely supportive of students providing countless academic and non-academic opportunities for each individual to express themselves and shine.
