On-line learning tools revisited netspeak
Skype, the online telephony tool, is popular among netizens for speaking with people across the Net. Besides being used a communication tool, Skype is increasingly getting used for distance teaching. For instance, the online service, ‘Echineselearning(https://www.echineselearning.com/), based in Beijing, China, uses skype for teaching Chinese. Anyone from anywhere on the globe with a Skype account can join this service and enjoy live, one-to-one teaching. In fact, it resembles a classroom setting the student can see the teacher, interact with her and clear the doubts instantaneously. To get a feel of the course you can take the service’s free trial lesson. In this regard, the demo available here (www.echineselearning.com/about-us/demo.html) also could be useful.
