The blended advantage
Blended learning combines online self-study with conventional face-to-face classroom sessions. The online component gives learners the opportunity to master key language on their own so that they can focus on speaking in class -- even if their starting levels are quite different.
With a strong online component taking care of topic and key language introduction, and an online mentor answering student questions as they arise, teachers are free to use valuable class time to concentrate on output practice and motivating activities.
