My 30-year-long professional journey in advising in language learning (ALL) has been a mindful and rewarding one. My talk considers how the nature of ALL has required me to be in an ever-changing landscape of professional development. Central to this was a holistic, person-centred view of learning and reflective dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to show that expert advisors need to move through different stages of unconscious and conscious competence; inherent in this is the need to resourcefully balance their own wellbeing and that of their learners whilst pursuing specific learning objectives. I consider a mindful use of intentional, skilled, reflective dialogue to be a distinctive professional feature for successful, happier, sustained learning. This has the potential to create powerful communities of advising practitioners and communities of life-long learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distinctive professional mind and skillset are particularly crucial in the challenges which Higher Education faces globally in the post Covid-19 era. In this, confident acceptance of change and a mindful focus on the co-construction of learning can provide a positive environment and prepare students to manage uncertainty resourcefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marina Mozzon-McPherson<\/strong> started her academic career as a language learning advisor at the University of Hull (UK) in 1992. She has continued practising language learning advising for over 30 years whilst in different strategic roles (e.g., Head of School, Associate Dean). She is now Emerita Professor and continues her research through consultancies primarily focused on mindful professional practice and training in lifelong advising competences. Her research broadly embraces these specific areas of applied linguistics and language education:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
