Answer

Online versus Classic English Classes

  Education can come in many forms and selecting the right one is a great challenge for every student. With the help of modern technologies, learning has become easier. People can now learn new things by using self-education methods and materials, by attending online and classic classes and even by combining all these possibilities in one learning program. However, some skills can be learned easier by actually being in a classroom and interacting with a teacher or professor. At the same time, online classes are breaking the geographical and physical limitations of the conventional classrooms, enabling more students to learn at once from the same source, at the same time. When it comes to English classes, the classic approach will create a better student and professor relationship while the online approach will allow more students to learn the same thing at once while achieving a better time management.    At its roots, education is not about teaching offline or online but about learning new things in a fast and effective way. Before education became a national policy, the responsibility of teaching was in the hands of the family. If the expected skill could not be learned in the family, the learner was usually sent to a recognized master who would take him as an apprentice. At the time, education was not based on a standard content or schedule. Each master had his own way of teaching. The emergence of schools as distinguished learning institutions increased the number of students that could learn at once. The English classes now became standardized and the student and teacher relationship became very important in the learning process. Today, the direct face to face student and teacher relationship remains the main asset of learning English in a classic way. This direct relationship will help the teacher identify the pace of each learner and offer their support to those who learn slower. However, this opportunity is mostly lost in the online classes.            During the online classes, the teacher will most probably not get the chance to observe the way each student is learning. This matter becomes crucial in English classes, where teachers should hear and see the way students read and speak English. The online webinars can bring everyone together at once, with the help of electronic communication but most probably the teacher will do most of the talk. In many of these online classes, the teacher delivers the lesson with his/her voice while the students respond by using an instant messaging platform. However, the classic approach does not guarantee that everyone will get to interact with the teacher.           This is because, during a classic English class, the teacher will lack the time to evaluate the way each one understands the lesson. Online classes can do that because everyone has to bring his/her contribution and everyone will be evaluated for it. At the same time, online classes will prevent the teacher from focusing and working with a few students while mostly ignoring the others. This happens because, in many classic classes, some students are too shy or feel too unprepared to interact with the teacher. Online classes solve this issue by demanding everyone to interact and contribute to the class.     At an adult learner, the sense of perceived value is higher. The truly concerned and dedicated students want to learn and want to check the progress they are making. Online classes can help them do that while achieving a better time management. In this way, adult learners can combine school with their job or other social and family responsibilities. However, feeling closer to the teacher and interacting with him/her directly may enhance the creativity levels of the English classes. Today, I believe that the online English class I am currently attending worked out the best for me. I will most probably receive an "A" in this class. This "A" will be the academic recognition of my constant effort of keeping up with the classroom pace while bringing my contribution to it. In a traditional class, I would probably receive a "B" for the same effort because maybe the teacher would lack the time to evaluate my skills in detail.
