4. Read the text
carefully:
Face-to-face learning is an instructional
method where course content and
learning material are taught in person to
a group of students. This allows for a live
interaction between a learner and an
instructor. It is the most traditional type
of learning instruction. Learners benefit
from a greater level of interaction with
their fellow students as well. In face-to-
face learning, students are held
accountable for their progress at the
class’s specific meeting date and time.
Face-to-face learning ensures a better
understanding and recollection of lesson
content and gives class members a
chance to bond with one another.

5. Read the text
carefully:
Face-to-face learning is essentially a
teacher-centered method of
education and tends to vary widely
among cultures. Many modern
education systems have largely
shifted away from
traditional face-to-face forms of
educational instruction, in favor of
individual students’
needs.
