December 25th, 2009

Learning or improving upon a second language is no longer confined to rote learning audio cassette tapes or out of date computer language programs on cd-rom that look like they were created in the late 1980’s. People around the world are slowly starting to visit online language websites that cater to a diverse set of creative teaching methods largely integrating web 2. 0 technologies that create an environment of collaboration and sharing amongst its users. Methods that didn’t exist 10 years ago are now available to millions of language learners across the world. Not only do these new methods promise convenience, they also promise access to new and improved materials for online use. Online language learning is now being considered by students around the world and one of the up and coming methods is learning online using voice and video in order to communicate with a tutor. An online voice chat is kind of like talking to your tutor over the phone except it’s over the Internet and you have access to a webcam while you use a variety of online materials to help learn. Tutors are no longer tied to a specific region or city in the world but rather wherever there is an Internet connection. Students who normally don’t have access to a teacher now have access to a teacher. When considering which method of online learning is right for you, you should consider a variety of factors to determine the best option. · Ease of Use· Price (if there is one)· Availability· Reputation and Quality of ProductThese are only some of the factors you should think about before choosing an online solution to your English language learning needs. Ease of use is really all about the website or product and how easy it is for you to use. Is there a help section, frequently asked questions and should these not solve your problem how easy is it to contact a real person either through email or by telephone. Online connectivity vs. offline connectivity refers to being able to use the program or website when you are not connected to the Internet. Price is usually a very important factor for most people when making an involved purchase that could easily cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Don’t confuse the lowest price with the best offer by any company selling you an education related learning experience. Everybody has heard the saying before “you get what you pay for,” so just be aware of this great advice before you choose the cheapest language help out there. Availability can be a very important factor if you are using live video and voice chat online English lessons which would probably require you to schedule your lesson times well in advance. Most new companies offering this type of live video and voice chat service will have several teachers available with many choices of times to make it very easy to schedule weekly lessons with a tutor. Reputation and quality of product can be checked by visiting the better business bureau (assuming the company you are interested in is using their services) or by asking a friend if they have heard about any good companies or by a referral from someone you trust. Another method which is often overlooked is asking the company for a list of emails of clients who have used their service before. If the company is well established you can even ask for a list of other students in your area or region. Any company who is not willing to give you the names of students should be passed by unless they are restricted due to legal reasons as the last thing you want to do is pass up a great company to learn online English with. Choosing the right online English language solution today is more about convenience than anything else, so sometimes it may be best to go with the company offering the higher price. The Internet can suit about any learning style that you can possibly think of. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and talk with friends and ask them what they are doing to help them learn.

Online Language Tutors – Are They Efficient?

December 17th, 2009

If you’ve set out to learn a new language, you’ll notice that there will be a big difference in learning speed if you try studying on your own, or with the help of a tutor. First of all, a tutor knows exactly where to start and what steps should be undertaken to learn that language correctly and he will be able to spot your weaknesses and strengths, emphasizing on what you’re lacking in and lowering the focus on what you’re already efficient in.
But getting a personal tutor is often quite hard. You’ll need to set a schedule, waste time traveling to and from the tutor (or to and from the meeting place where you’re learning the new language) and sometimes it will be hard to find someone in your proximity that can teach you. Thank God for technology and thank God for the Internet!
Now, you can hire online language tutors that will act just like a personal tutor, but you’ll take away most of the annoying details from your relationship (you still need to schedule and obviously they still cost money, although they’re usually cheaper than face-to-face personal tutors). You’ll most likely need a webcam and a good set of headphones if you want to start learning, since your sessions will take place through video conferences.
Many people wonder if this is a more efficient language learning technique than by hiring a face-to-face tutor or not. Well first of all, sometimes it may be your only option, if you can’t find the right tutor to meet around your area. Secondly, it can be more efficient from a financial point of view, although this might be situational since you’ll need a webcam, headphones and a solid Internet connection, things that may make up for the extra cost of hiring a personal tutor.
The language learning process itself is not really affected. It won’t be any different than if you would have the tutor on your screen, sitting right next to you. It will also be more convenient, since you won’t even have to move from your chair and payment is usually easy enough as to not cause additional troubles (and if one online tutor website doesn’t offer the payment method that’s most convenient for you, move on to the next – there’s plenty to choose from).
By the way, I noticed there are a couple of language learning websites out there that offer their customers “live online language training” under the form of video classes. This means that you can log on a conference, where the tutor will act as a class teacher to you and several other users logged on at that time. This may not be the best way to learn since you won’t be able to channel your tutor’s attention entirely to you, but this method is usually cheaper so you could end up with a bargain.
All in all, I’d say you should at least give it a try and see how you like it. Some people may not feel as comfortable talking to someone “virtual” and prefer their tutor to be physically there during the lessons. Others find this an advantage, so it’s all about personal preference in the end. And despite the fact that online language tutoring is still a rather new concept, it’s definitely THE main learning method of the future. Let’s face it, who will go through the trouble of physically moving to their tutor (or the tutors moving to their students) when they can handle the same lessons from miles away, through a microphone and a webcam.
