The number of online language courses is increasing day by day. But are they all the same? Of course not. Choosing the right training affects both your time and your motivation. In this article, we share the key points to consider when evaluating an online language course.
1. Instructor Staff
The instructor is the most important factor in language learning.
- What is the instructor’s native language?
- Do you have teaching experience?
- Does he have the knowledge of methods in language teaching?
Tip: Instructors who are native speakers of the target language, experienced in language teaching, and have strong methodological knowledge provide much better results in the long run.
2. Educational Content
Is it a ready-made PDF or custom-made materials?
- Is the course appropriate for your level?
- Are speaking, listening, writing progressing in a balanced way?
- Is it practice-oriented or just grammar-oriented?
A good course should offer a structure that can flex to your needs.
3. Group or Private Lessons?
Some people are more motivated in group lessons, others progress faster in one-on-one lessons.
- Which type of course is right for you?
- How many people is the number of groups limited to?
- How much time can the instructor devote to you in private lessons?
Request and experience a demo lesson before you decide.
4. Flexibility and Convenience
Time and space flexibility is the biggest advantage in online education. However:
- Are the class times suitable for your time zone?
- Is it possible to make up for missed classes?
- Is it possible to participate easily from mobile devices?
A course that can’t adapt to your life won’t be sustainable, no matter how good it is.
5. Feedback and Follow-up
Is there a system that tracks your progress and provides you with tailored recommendations?
- Is homework or repetition given after each lesson?
- Does the instructor identify your deficiencies and guide you?
Real development is not only through lectures, but also through regular follow-up and feedback.
6. Course Infrastructure and Platform Quality
On which platform are the classes held? Zoom, Google Meet, custom LMS?
- Is the image and sound quality sufficient?
- Is it easy to access materials through the platform?
- Is there technical support?
The more solid the foundation of the course, the more your focus will be on the course.
