eLearning Journal awards top grade for LinguaTV’s language training
The experts in the eLearning Journal agree: LinguaTV's foreign language training has earned the top grade of "EXCELLENT". The jurors were particularly impressed by the sophisticated concept of “Blended Learning & Teaching”. But what exactly lies behind it?
The combination of e-learning and face-to-face teaching has recently become very popular. Many learners who take advantage of digital learning still, however, prefer to have someone they can actually talk to. Which is why LinguaTV goes one step further and also offers teacher-led classes in the virtual classroom.
The tests of the eLearning Journal have now confirmed that this concept works very well in practice. The virtual lessons via video conference are seamlessly integrated with the digital self-study courses. For example, the teacher sets the learner homework to watch a specific video or complete a writing exercise in the LinguaTV app. In the following lesson in the virtual classroom, the teaching materials are explored more deeply, relevant vocabulary is repeated and any questions are clarified. Role-play is a particularly good way of encouraging the learners to speak actively, to put them in different situations and to practise those language skills that are most relevant to their work.
In addition to the overall didactic concept, LinguaTV’s digital teaching materials also made a great impression in the tests. The fully-fledged, self-study courses cover a wide range of topics and range from basic language skills to Business English, and even includes specialist, branch-specific courses, such logistics, building cleaning and the hotel industry. The testers were particularly impressed by the appealing mix of methods. The variety of media and the types of exercise used coach all the relevant language skills and ensure that there is no room for boredom.
The availability of the self-study courses as a native app guarantees the optimal mobile learning experience. Together with the lessons in the Virtual Classroom, LinguaTV provides flexible foreign language learning that is independent of time and place, and which guarantees success thanks to its well-engineered concept of Blended Learning. No wonder the editors of the eLearning Journal awarded it the top grade of “EXCELLENT”.
