"The most valuable lesson I learned at LCC is that people are the most valuable asset in every organization. Having talked to many alumni, they always said that people are what creates the real LCC experience, and now looking back, I couldn’t agree more. It is our amazing staff and faculty who share common values and help us grow not only as professionals but also individuals, and it is the students who later become your second family. It has taught me to care about each person I work or interact with. I believe that LCC is the place where you can create the experience you want.

LCC International University contemporary communication senior Kristofer Gobins, 22, Latvia, turned a subconscious adventure into a real movie with the help of fifteen students, one alumnus, a film professor and a marketing department staff member. “In this movie we were utilizing the aesthetic of randomness and emptiness from my actual dreams,” said Gobins, while pointing at his head. Latvian abandoned village, Stirnas Ciems, was the inspiration for Gobins to write the horror movie script for his final thesis work with the help of his advisor Mischa Cantú-Blake, 35, United States. “My father’s graduation gift, 5,000 euros, made it possible,” said Gobins.Despite the limitations of the budget, Gobins' resourceful team improvised solutions throughout filming included everything from repurposing everyday objects, such as pieces of cloth, as props to utilizing natural light.Before venturing to the location, the crew created a storyboard of key scenes and mapped out filming within the studios’ structures.Filming itself took place over five days in the Cinevilla Studio, near Tukums, Latvia and two days in a nearly abandoned village, with the cast and crew braving the wind and cold in order to finish the project. “I sincerely value students’ presence and involvement on set; without them the process would not have been this smooth and exciting,” said film professor Cantú-Blake of LCC students' willingness to take up a project during the spring break.The crew and cast for “Mira House '' were selected by Gobins by means of online applications and while some had prior experience in stage productions, others were complete newcomers. Gobins, along with his advisers, held meetings to guide participants through the script and build their confidence prior the trip to Latvia.Script readings and brainstorming sessions at LCC International University refined the narrative and ensured the film resonated with people. “I was surprised to be chosen and I was completely taught how to record sound for the movies professionally, people usually pay thousands of dollars for such a thing,” said Mariia Yushchyshyna, 19, Ukraine, sophomore contemporary communication student, who held the role of a sound mixer in the crew. Gobins crafted a diverse cast with students from Georgia, United States, Kazakhstan and Latvia; these contrasting personalities add layers of tension so each character represents a different archetype and aims for the movie to stand out of the traditional horror movie narratives.The completed film promises a unique visual style blurring the lines between reality and nightmare through a combination of unsettling imagery and camerawork.“We wanted to be ‘around the corner’ scary, not just using the usual monster chasing them,” said Gobins.“Mira house” is in the post-production stage where Gobins is collaborating with the sound design team. “The challenge lies in balancing the unsettling atmosphere captured on camera with crafting a cohesive story that will leave a lasting impact on viewers,” said Gobins.“I would not recommend listening to all the sounds recorded during the night to anyone, except it is my job,” said Yushchyshyna, grinning and shrugging. While the official release date is still under wraps and the spring semester nearing its end, the "Mirror House" team intensifies post-production efforts to finalize the film for release. “Be flexible and be ready to work with what you have, do not set expectations but ‘do be yourself’,” said Gobins as a final advice for aspiring filmmakers.Courtesy of Xeniya Cherednik

Don’t require teachers to attend any more professional development seminars. Just let them teach! Dear education agencies don’t ask teachers to attend one more professional development seminar. Don’t require teachers to get one more meaningless certificate. Teaching is both an art and a science. Teachers love to teach. People become teachers because they have a genuine love of helping students learn. Teachers are instinctively creators, innovators, and leaders. Teachers create lessons that engage students’ minds and hearts and emotions. Teachers know how to hold the attention of 25 teenagers on a Monday morning; not many adults can do that! Teachers stay up to date with current news, trends, and technology. During a single lesson, teachers make hundreds of split-second decisions about how to respond to pupils, and how to adjust instruction, both now and next week, to meet the needs of the learners in their care.Language teachers are especially skilled in using language to teach language. In a microsecond, teachers hear a student’s language production, and the teacher chooses to recast, to review, to rephrase, or to reallocate the response to another student. Language teachers are constantly juggling their own authentic vocabulary and comprehensible vocabulary at the appropriate level for the students. Language teachers strike a delicate balance between accuracy and fluency in every unit of lessons. Language teachers decide when to initiate or complete conversations and how to lead the discussion for the benefit of critical learning. Language teachers teach pronunciation and punctuation in the same breath. Language teachers begin and end the day creating an atmosphere of challenge and safety, lowering the affective filter to promote language acquisition. Very few teachers learn about the “craft” of teaching by attending yet another “professional development” seminar. Teachers don’t need to collect certificates. Yet, teachers are life-long learners. There are sustainable ways that teachers can learn to improve their practice. Teachers become better after personal, reflective practice. Teachers improve by understanding the theories behind what they do instinctively. Teachers gain insights by learning from prior research. When teachers study their own classrooms (action research), they learn more about what is actually happening in their own settings. Teachers gain in-depth information about topics that are important to them when they dig deep into their own research. MA TESOL programs are designed to deeply improve the quality and craft of English teachers by walking along side teachers as they think critically, read theoretically, reflect seriously, interact with other teachers collegially, and research meaningfully. A MA TESOL degree is the only and final degree that active language teachers need to teach English anywhere in the world. Stop attending one-day seminars. Enroll in an MA TESOL program.Author: Robin Gingerich, Ph.D., MA TESOL Program Director at LCC International University.
