ABSTRACT Much of the content of modern day language didactics can accomplish a lot when it comes to details and specific areas of learning, but rather seldom does it give a larger picture that can serve as a base to explore new territory and develop another way of teaching and learning. The aim of this thesis is to develop a practical concept that enfolds some of these theories and ideas. Instead of a focus on methodology this thesis attracts attention to the roles of both teachers and students as well as the use of multiple methodology use because of the goal which is individualised education. Another issue is the mentality of the learner with the polyglot as the model for an efficient language learner. These ideas affect the content of the tool for investigation, documentation and guidance of the students that is presented. Key words: learner styles, multiple methodology use, coach, human character, polyglot, individualisation and artificial language environment.
