This tab is for those who are skeptical of online classes.
Some believe that learning languages without live contact with a group or teacher is not efficient.
Some are afraid of technical problems with communication platforms or e-learning tools.
Yes, I was sceptical at first too, but after some time I have found that there are many advantages of online learning and teaching as well:
-
you can have classes from anywhere in the world where the internet works - you don't miss or interrupt classes even when you are on a business trip or on vacation;)
-
you do not lose time on the way to class, you are rarely late
-
if you prefer to avoid direct contact with people for various health reasons, you do not have to miss classes - you still have regular contact with the teacher and other students
-
you have easy and direct contact with your teacher between classes via chat and email
-
all materials and notes are available after class, you can simply download them and save them in your folders or print them out
-
after class you have access to links with interactive exercises that you can do in your free time, even on the phone
Do not worry about technical problems - they do happen sometimes, but are usually easy to fix. Students quickly get used to classes in front of a screen, regardless of their age and previous experience.
I've also found that my students learn just as effectively online as they do live!
