Blended learning has proven to be a powerful approach to acquire languages. Is blended “last decade”? It depends. Myngle has taken the lessons from the past and it is re-applying them with new technology. By combining lessons online with a live teacher and the asynchronous tool called Aula Virtual de Español (AVE) by Instituto Cervantes, Myngle is proving that “blended” is not old; it just needs a facelift.
AVE is a web-based self-study program for Spanish. Students can enter the ‘classroom’ at any time, a Myngle teacher trained by Instituto Cervates in the content and methodology of the AVE, can assist the student inside the AVE. And can meet the same student for live meetings that follow the curriculum of the AVE. In sum, students can benefit from live online classes, access to the AVE self-study and to additional tools in Myngle’s library.
The presentation will demonstrate with concrete evidence the pro’s and con’s of this approach and what are some of the possibilities further into the future.
