Distance learning helps foreigners build language skills in the virtual classroom - Claudia Minke, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
One of the biggest advantages of distance learning is that learners can start at their own level. At Goethe-Institut, for example, new students write a short text, which is evaluated by an instructor. On this basis, instructors learn students' strengths and weaknesses and can create a program tailored to their needs. Then the course can begin. The advantage: Participants can fit learning into their own schedules. But in contrast to the prepackaged language courses available in stores, distance learning courses are real courses with real deadlines that must be met.
