This guide explains the practice and the benefits of using e-learning in teaching languages to adults. It promotes and illustrates blended learning – a mix of e-learning and traditional classroom methods.
Looking at how e-learning can provide appropriate self-directed learning resources for adults, the book examines task-based and topic-based learning, giving usable and adaptable examples of lessons and materials.
Instructions, case studies and handy hints inspire tutors to develop their own materials. Readers are shown how to develop a community of practice. The book discusses the use of Learning Platforms and tools such as noticeboards and chat which are available to encourage communication within and outside the class between tutor and learners.
