In this edition of Hive 5, we run through 5 compelling reasons to enroll in an online language course.
Our current health situation has driven most of us to shift vital activities online, including schooling.
Throughout this period, online learning has progressively become a viable mode of education thanks to the myriad advantages it offers. With the wealth of available complementary resources and tools, online learning is now a legitimate and formidable option for anyone looking to take up a new course or study a new skill.
CONVENIENT & ECONOMICAL
When learning through an online course, you don't need to wake up early, get dressed and brave the long and difficult commute to the school. Of course, no need to spend for fares - you save money.
Your school is where you make it. You are free to come as you are, but of course you may consider washing your face or combing your hair when you need to turn on the camera. 😃
FLEXIBLE & STRUCTURED
One main advantage of an online course is its flexibility. You may learn where you are and when you want, especially because the resources are available online.
But it is also important to have a professional and qualified teacher that will guide you throughout your learning journey. Your teacher will provide you with a learning program so you may advance systematically. The teacher will also monitor and evaluate your progress and make sure that you are learning correctly and efficiently.
CREATIVE & ENGAGING
Online learning opens many possibilities for creativity and engaging class activities. There are numerous online teaching tools and resources available that enriches the online learning experience.
Have you ever experienced the thrill of playing an online game in class? How about drawing and coloring figures together with your classmates in Europe, real-time? Watching a live event where your teacher lives in the USA? All these are possible with online learning.
GO BEYOND BORDERS
Online learning has made it possible to bring the best teachers and most updated learning resources closer to students anywhere in the world. It has also made it more convenient to discover other cultures and make new friends from different countries.
Students from the Philippines or Singapore can have a French teacher or Japanese tutors without having to leave their homes. They may also utilize the latest learning books and resources, which may be difficult to find and secure in their countries.
RECORD & REVIEW
Who among you has tried taking pictures of presentation slides or the whiteboard? Have you also tried recording the voice of your teachers as they lecture? Documentation is extremely important.
Thanks to online learning, it is now possible to record the entire class, and review it without missing a single beat. This is also helpful for those with unstable Internet or those who may need to miss some sessions.
