Virtual Language Training By Dp

Nov. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- The new virtual-language lab service offers an innovative approach to online audio and video quality and it will be an inherent part of the new corporate offering, which includes language learning software and tutoring. The course format “CLT Live” is aimed at language learners who utilize a blend of self-study, online tutoring and live trainings, but are unable to regularly participate in courses in a classroom environment. The participants take part in the course concept “CLT Live” with a high degree of interaction: They communicate with the teacher and other language students via webcam, microphone, chat and surveys.

With “CLT Live”, digital publishing has created the first complete curriculum which is based on the official European framework for language learning. It intelligently combines the technical potential of the Virtual Classroom with the integrated concept of the CLT online-language school. With “CLT Live”, the live training takes place online and is both time and cost efficient. Learners use dp’s award-winning language learning software, which focuses on improving pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. They can do so with the flexibility of working from home, at work or while travelling. All classes are taught by highly qualified and experienced native speakers, who provide feedback on the learning progress.

The concept of “CLT Live” contains 12 sessions in the Virtual Classroom, each lasting 45 minutes including a question and answer session at the end. Learners from around the world can participate, regardless of location. The discussion of key business and current everyday topics, while focusing on linguistic and cultural aspects helps to rapidly improve language skills. “CLT Live” is comprised of six months of language training for the target languages English, French, Spanish and Italian. The course format is designed for language learners who have successfully passed the course level A1.

The Virtual Classroom was developed by digital publishing software engineers with the special needs of language students in mind, who are mostly looking for excellent audio and clear video quality when communicating with the tutor. The live sessions focus on actively communicating in a foreign language. Listening and reading comprehension will also be part of the new “CLT Live” course format.
