Online English Training

by Anna Fowler Internet Marketing

Learning English online is the latest fad these days. People are choosing it over actual classroom learning because it saves time, money, resources and is sheer fun. Therefore, it becomes imperative on parts of trainers to train themselves and also develop the content in such a way that it meets the requirements of the virtual student present only through realm of the cyber world.

Some of the key points that need to kept in mind while creating an online English course or module are:

1. An in depth study of the target market: The trainers or the course developers need to know their target audience, the demographics, their aptitudes and capabilities. As a student will not be physically present to give feedback, therefore it becomes important to think of the different situations or concerns a student might face during the learning process before developing the course.


2. An alternative for everything: The trainers must design as many alternative methods of learning every concept as possible. The key problem with online learning is the absence of the physical presence of a teacher. Therefore, the developers or trainers must ensure beforehand that content of the courses are simple to understand and there are more than one ways to make the students understand the ideas.


3. Need to update fresh content on a regular basis: Online English training requires uploading fresh and engaging content on the website on a regular basis. As the students can not voice their feedbacks to an actual teacher, they certainly look for a changed content or a more engaging content frequently. A website is considered to be doomed if it does not introspect its own content frequently. There is a need to constantly look into the trends of online training, what students want and make changes to the site on the basis of the research conducted.


4. Surveys: Surveys need to be conducted regularly by the trainers to know what is the need of the hour or what more can they offer their learners. Survey is also important from the perspective of launching anything that is new. This is so because everything from a course to a quiz needs to be made only if there is a demand in the market for the same. There is no wisdom in putting efforts on something that might not even be that popular among the learners.


5. Feedback: Developing a channel to generate feedback is extremely important when it comes to online English training. Feedback can be collected in the form of periodical phone calls to the learners, emails, survey questionnaires, etc.

So it is clear that though free online English learning is a great choice to learn the language due to the many benefits it offers to the learners, it is also true that a lot of careful thinking has to go into creating every tiny bit of a module or a course. As always the fertile medium of the internet, though, opens up so many avenues for the betterment of language learning, but it also leaves the possibility of going badly wrong open if the above mentioned points are not taken into account effectively.
