The Basics of Teaching Language Online | More Than English S02 E06

The internet is changing the face of language learning and making it more convenient and effective to learn and teach foreign languages online. In fact, language-learning is one of the fastest growing industries to do online. Learners are not restricted to a set time and day to travel to a brick-and-mortar school and study with a class full of people with minimal opportunity to actually use the language.

As effective as we teachers try to make our activities in class, there is always the dynamic of embarrassment of making mistakes in front of other students, distractions that can occur, and inconvenient times of classes. 

Online lessons can be tailored specifically for a specific student and what they need. This is what we talk about with Camille, a professional online French and English teacher on italki, a language-learning platform that connects teachers and students. (sign up here  and receive a bonus).
