Blended & e-learning

At Language Services Direct we are aware that clients may wish to implement blended learning and e-learning programmes for a variety of reasons. We have set up programmes for a number of our clients where:

• learners need to maintain consistent progress but are unable to attend regular face-to-face lessons
• the course focus is on developing particular language skills such as reading and writing
• the target language is needed mainly for telephone or email communication
• a remote office location makes face-to-face training impossible

Language Services Direct can offer clients:

• an e-learning audit with recommendations as to the suitability of blended or e-learning courses within the context of the company’s overall language training goals
• implementation of company-wide blended or e-learning, typically as a complement to existing language training programmes

Programmes typically include a combination of:

• face-to-face lessons with a qualified and experienced native speaking trainer (for blended learning programmes)
• group or individual sessions delivered through a range of media including via webcam, secure instant messaging, telephone or email
• support products such as online individual conversation, business language chatrooms, asynchronous discussion boards, “Just-in-Time” language support etc
• the design of specific materials to support existing programmes e.g. tailored materials available on-line or on CD-ROM
• recommendations for self-study coursework or suitable interactive learning websites 

As with all Language Services Direct courses the content is tailored to the business needs of the client and the learner. For more information on the above products please contact our e-learning Project Manager on 020 7357 6657 or via info@languageservicesdirect.co.uk
