In an ideal world the learning experience would be completely customisable to your own needs. You’d be able to pick what you learn, when you learn and from who you learn. Lessons would also be nothing like classes today. Instead of sitting down in front of a board and copying down notes, you would be learning in a completely new way and having a far more exciting experience as you do. How far away do you think this ideal is? If you’re thinking about learning English, it’s already here. This is the future; learning English online. If you had the chance to move your education out of the classroom and onto the internet, would you take it? Learning English online allows you to master your language skills: English speaking, English reading and writing, with a qualified English teacher. You aren’t just stuck with what’s available in your area, now you have the chance to learn from the best in the world. You could decide when your classes would be, and be able to attend them from anywhere in the world. Not only that, you can pick the classes that are most useful to you and so what you learn suits your needs. There are plenty of other advantages too. You get to meet people from lots of different places, have friends from all over the world. All your learning material can be kept online, in one area of unlimited space! Not only that, but your experience of learning can be hugely different to those of the normal classroom. You get to explore and interact with your environment; every day is a field trip without the time wasted on the commute! It can also be a great deal cheaper for you. Without the heavy investment of normal classroom materials, online education can be just as effective at a fraction of the cost. Learning English online gives you the chance to speak and learn in context to the subject you’re studying. For example, rather than reading about how to negotiate when buying a house you can actually role-play that scenario in a virtual house, rather than watching a video on checking in at an airport, you can practice actually checking-in at a virtual airport and rather than learning big lists of food from a textbook, you can practice choosing and ordering in an actual restaurant, all with a qualified and experienced English teacher to help you find your way each time. Learning in this way means that no lesson is exactly the same, you have to think on your feet and deal with many different situations to complete it each time. The instant feedback you receive is far easier to remember because the lesson is still fresh in your mind. Not only that, but the lesson becomes more memorable and so more effective, as you build the vocabulary specific to the situation and learn how to use it in the right context. Add to that the extra confidence you have from already being used to the airport/house buying settings, which means you are less likely to be nervous and make mistakes when you have to do it for real. If you learn English online you get the chance to practice a great deal more too, with a large community of fellow students from all over the world. These are just a few of the ways that learning online is better than the conventional classroom.
