Online: Face-to-Face Lessons
Online trainers can deliver classes to individuals and groups wherever you have
sufficient connection to support a virtual classroom. Popular platforms include
Webex, GoToMeeting, Adobe Connect, Google Hangouts and Skype.
Online: Blended Learning
Using a customized online platform, you develop your language skills through
reading exercises, doing language practice tasks, listening to podcasts or
watching videos.
In a blended learning course, self-study complements face-to-face lessons. In this
way activities such as reading texts or vocabulary and grammar exercises, are
taken outside the classroom, allowing lessons to focus on discussion, practice and
reflection.
