Is it best to learn a language autonomously or attend classes? The Museum of Knowledge and many other language learning providers offer alternative means to learn a language that students from around the world can access.

 

The arrival of MOOCs (massive open online courses)

Self-learning has become increasingly popular since 2012 with the arrival of MOOCs (massive open online courses). The Museum of Knowledge, a virtual museum dedicated to language learning offers MOOCs to students who wish to learn a language autonomously. MOOCs are defined as online courses that are available to anyone and most importantly to vast numbers of people. There really is no limit in terms of accessibility as there are no restrictions on classroom sizes and teacher availability. Easy to access online courses ensure that location and time are no longer a hindrance.

 

Reducing the barrier to education and continuous learning

The barrier to learning and access to education and continuous learning is greatly reduced thanks to MOOCs such as those offered at the Museum of Knowledge. MOOCs are not always free but they are often attractively priced, once again enabling students from around the world to access a generous number of online language courses whilst improving their potential for career progression. Anyone can participate in a Museum of Knowledge online language course as long as they have the will and determination to succeed. These factors of accessibility of both intermediate language courses and advanced business language courses offer education to as wide an audience as possible.

 

Providing flexibility and wider coverage to students who wish to learn a language

The other benefits of MOOCs offered by the Museum of Knowledge include flexibility and coverage. To produce good quality language learning materials is another extremely high expense and the flexibility of being able to upload materials online that can be accessed by students from around the world is priceless.

How to learn German at home without a teacher, @MOKKnowledge tips

Can students learn German at home without a teacher? As an online provider of language courses, the Museum of Knowledge team is often asked which key skills need to be borne in mind for effective language learning. For students learning German, how can this be facilitated without a traditional teacher in a physical classroom environment?

First let us address the core benefits of a traditional face-to-face teacher. Of course private tuition is one of the best ways to reach high levels of competency and will ensure students learn German with ease. Alternatively, teaching in small classes of no more than six people is also highly effective. That notwithstanding, private tuition and small classes often incur high costs for those students seeking regular tuition so that they can learn German to a high standard.

Customized or shall we say personalized language learning can be more cost effectively achieved by online learning techniques developed by the Museum of Knowledge team. The adoption of structured module based language learning technique is how the Museum of Knowledge develops its core disciplines for students who wish to learn German without a traditional face-to-face teacher. Students who wish to learn German should also bear in mind that sentence construction and grammar may seem difficult at first, hence the reason why many aspects of the personalized tools offered at the Museum of Knowledge may be beneficial.

Despite the fact that students who wish to learn German can indeed do so at home, the Museum of Knowledge team wishes to point out that all aspects of the language learning programmes the team develops are done so that teachers can also utilize content and study guides for their own students. Therefore the notion that teachers are completely removed from the teaching process just because they may not be physically present in a classroom environment is a false one.
