How does the Virtual Classroom work?
Just like in a real session, a Virtual Classroom enables us to discuss theory, share knowledge and experiences, practise, give and receive feedback, and experiment. Learning a language in the Virtual Classroom is similar to taking a regular class, but of course, some things will be different. For example, it sometimes takes some getting used to the technology, and some of the methods and assignments are different.
What can you expect?
Personal attention from an expert teacher This is central to all our courses. Our teachers and trainers are all experts in online teaching. They are flexible and think along with you. Together, you will work on answering your questions and achieving your learning goals.
Group classes on fixed days and times You will attend group classes on fixed days and at fixed times in the Virtual Classroom.
Slides or whiteboard In the Virtual Classroom, you see your teacher and the slides or a whiteboard, just like in a real classroom.
Interaction with teacher and fellow students In addition to explanations and instructions, classes consist of interaction with the teacher and your fellow students. You can talk to each other, and use the chat to discuss and ask questions.
Working together in smaller groups You also work together in smaller groups in separate virtual ‘rooms’.
Interactive methods and online assignments The teacher uses various interactive methods, as well as online assignments and tests.
Homework and course materials in online learning environment Each week, a clear overview of the homework and course materials will be available for you in the online learning environment.
What do you need?
