Beyond Skills: A Mindset-Based English Class That Opened Students’ Inner Growth
Contents
What happens when an “English for entrepreneurship” class goes beyond language?
At an university where I recently taught, students took a mindset-based program rooted in the MBDGs (Mind-Based Development Goals) model. While the class focused on English and entrepreneurship, the transformation went deeper.
📊 Post-class survey results showed
・96.5 — Collaborative learning with peers
・91.8 — Would recommend to others
・92.2 — Felt the class was truly necessary
But what stood out most were the students’ voices:
🗣️
・“I learned more about my own mindset.”
・“English became fun to speak.”
・“This was more than a business class — it helped me understand myself.”
・“It felt like a mindset class wrapped in English.”
They didn’t just acquire skills.
They connected with themselves.
They discovered what they value — and started expressing it in their own voices.
This is the real power of education:
Helping students trust themselves before asking them to lead, speak up, or innovate.
Let’s keep building learning spaces that open not just minds, but hearts.
If you’re curious about this kind of approach — especially combining English × mindset × entrepreneurship — I’d love to connect.
