Online lessons
Current technologies guarantee high-quality lessons online. Both our language school and our teachers are well-versed in lessons in a virtual environment. We offer this form of learning by default and classes can be easily arranged. Online courses are led akin to face-to-face lessons and represent a full-fledged alternative.
What does an online lesson look like?
The teacher sends you a link to the chosen video conferencing platform – you do not have to trouble yourself with anything - only have a device equipped with a microphone/camera connected to the internet at the ready. We are open to using other platforms and can accommodate the services you use. We have the most experience with Google Hangouts, Skype, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Apart from leading the lesson, the teacher uses:
- A presentation which keeps the structure of the lesson
- Chat as a board alternative
- Screen sharing for materials, video or pictures
- Mobile phone apps – e.g. Quizlet for vocabulary and phrases
Advantages of online courses
- Business communication in a foreign language happens most frequently via a videoconference. Therefore, online lessons imitate the most common situation.
- No need for a specific place or a conference room
- The teacher can offer alternative dates/times more easily
- Make-up lessons
- Can be combined with face-to-face lessons
