PREDNOSTI ČASOVA PREKO INTERNETA - THE ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LESSONS

THE ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LESSONS


Learning via Skype is not new. For decades people all over the world learn foreign language, how to play an instrument or have business interviews via Skype or via similar tools. Even so, some people are still skeptical about this method. Here are few reasons why Serbian language lessons online might be better solution than other methods. 





1) Learning from home.

To learn new language is not easy and that's why you want to provide the most pleasant conditions for your learning. The most comfortable is learning from your own home.

2) Saving money and time which you would spend on transport.

Language learning lasts at least 6 months and often for several years. Learning Serbian is not an exception. Calculate how much money would you spend on transport to the language school or teacher's house, and back. Saving is not negligible at all.

The same goes for time saving.

3) Online lessons are more effective because they are more direct - those are face to face conversations.

When you have online lesson, the teacher is absolutely focused on student, and the other way around. Contact is direct, face to face. Nothing distracts you.

4) Learning material is free.

Before every lesson, you get lots of learning material to your e-mail (word documents, pictures, links etc.). From that moment, material belongs to you for further use with a Serbian teacher online or independently.

5) Online lessons are more interactive.

You may watch a video and comment with a teacher, you may play language game during lesson or learn Serbian by listening words of popular song. In online lessons we use all the advantages of Internet. Level of interactivity is higher than in other learning methods. As more as your senses are engaged, sooner you will learn Serbian language.

6) Online lessons are individual and adapted to student's needs.

Serbian teacher online has general learning program, which might be adapted to your personal needs. Maybe you need Serbian language for business reasons, or for family reasons, or you want to study in Serbia. Maybe you know basic grammar but your vocabulary is not good enough, or the other way around; maybe you are an absolute beginner. In any of these cases, online lessons offer adequate solution.

7) Terms are flexible.

You may have lessons late at the evening, or early in the morning, or in some other term when is the most convenient for you. You may have steady term, or schedule every lesson individually.

8) Thanks to the Internet, space distance is not important anymore.

If I am the right person for you as a Serbian language teacher, we may have lessons while you are in Canada or Australia, and while I am in Europe or while we both are traveling. Disappearance of space limitations is a huge advantage of the Internet.

PREDNOSTI ČASOVA PREKO INTERNETA

Učenje putem Skajpa nije ništa novo. Već deceniju ljudi širom sveta uče strani jezik, ili sviranje muzičkog instrumenta, ili imaju poslovne intervjue, i još mnogo toga - preko interneta, pomoću Skajpa ili sličnih programa. Ipak, neki su još uvek skeptični prema ovoj metodi i misle da to nije za njih. Evo nekoliko razmišljanja na temu - zašto su časovi srpskog jezika preko interneta bolji od drugih metoda učenja.

1) Učite iz udobnosti sopstvenog doma.

Naučiti nov jezik nije lako i zato želite da obezbedite sebi najprijatnije uslove, a nigde nije komfornije nego u sopstvenom domu.

2) Ušteda vremena i novca koje biste potrošili na prevoz.

Jezik se uči najmanje šest meseci, a često i nekoliko godina. Sračunajte koliko je to novca potrošenog na put do privatnog nastavnika ili škole, i natrag. Ušteda nije nimalo mala.

Isto važi i za utrošeno vreme.

3) Onlajn časovi su efektniji jer su direktni - to je razgovor oči u oči.

Kada imate čas preko Skajpa, nastavnik je maksimalno fokusiran na učenika, i obrnuto. Kontakt je direktan, oči u oči. Ništa ne odvlači Vašu pažnju.

4) Materijal za učenje je besplatan.

Pre svakog časa na svoju imejl adresu dobijete dosta materijala za učenje, koji se sastoji od raznih word dokumenata, slika i linkova. Od tog trenutka materijal pripada Vama, i možete ga kasnije i samostalno koristiti.

5) Onlajn časovi pružaju više interaktivnosti.

Možete gledati i komentarisati sa nastavnikom video na YouTube-u, možete odigrati tokom časa igricu iz gramatike ili učiti jezik uz zvuke i reči neke pesme. Na onlajn časovima koristimo sve prednosti Interneta. Interaktivnost je važan deo onlajn časova, a što su više angažovana Vaša čula - pre ćete naučiti srpski jezik.

6) Onlajn časovi su prilagođeni potrebama učenika.

Nastavnik se pridržava generalnog plana i programa, ali u procesu učenja prilagođava se i Vašim ličnim potrebama. Onlajn časovi su vrlo individualni. Možda Vam je srpski jezik potreban da komunicirate sa porodicom i prijateljima, ili iz poslovnih razloga, ili zbog studiranja u Srbiji. Možda znate osnove gramatike, ali Vam je vokabular slaba strana, ili obrnuto; ili ste možda potpuni početnik. U svakoj od ovih situacija, onlajn časovi pružaju adekvatan odgovor.

7) Termini časova su fleksibilni.

Možete imati časove kasno uveče, rano ujutru, ili u neko drugo doba dana kada Vama najviše odgovara. Možete imati stalni termin svake sedmice, ili zakazivati svaki čas posebno.
8) Zahvaljujući Internetu, prostorna distanca ne postoji.
Ukoliko Vam baš ja odgovaram kao nastavnik srpskog jezika, možemo imati časove dok ste Vi u Kanadi ili Australiji, a ja u Evropi. Jedna od velikih prednosti Interneta je što je ukinuo prostorne granice.
