Five Differences Between and Online SLE Course and Traditional Online Courses
Teaching is an activity that dates back to the beginning of humanity. The capacity to transmit knowledge to another person has always been seen as a necessity. Currently, there are several teaching methods; however, the most-often mentioned during this time of pandemic have been classroom courses and online courses.
New technologies have formed a totally different panorama for schools and language institutions. Now we can learn any activity from our computer. Marketing, guitar, and English lessons are now available through this means. Many companies have found in online courses an ideal option that permits employees to learn other languages while keeping in step with the demands of globalization.
Not All Language Courses Are the Same
Some may think that all language lessons are alike, but in reality this is not the case. Every service is different: Each school and company offers different certifications, methodologies and level of experience on the part of teachers and tutors.
In fact, online learning has become the most popular option to train and upgrade the skills of employees in every organization. It is simpler, faster and it has been proven to constitute an excellent way to acquire useful knowledge to perform a work-related function. This being said, companies are often concerned that a course may not cover the themes it considers relevant or adapt sufficiently to its mode of work.
The importance of language companies that offer courses which also specialize in business topics and the specificities of various industries has become increasingly evident in this globalized world. Nowadays, it is not sufficient to know English, French or German. It is also necessary to understand the correct terminology of productive processes in international companies. This is why Servicio Lingüístico Empresarial (SLE) has become a valued option for companies working in Mexico. We understand the need to learn other languages while focusing on business topics and specific areas of work. This is one of the main characteristics that sets us apart from our competitors.
Main Differences Between Conventional English Courses and the SLE Methodology
We do not offer just another online course, as those found throughout the internet. At Servicio Lingüístico Empresarial we want employees to learn another language that they can apply directly to their daily activities. Below are outlined the five main differences between typical online courses and our teaching system, to help you to take the best decision for your company.
1. Personalized service
At SLE we focus on the specific needs of each company and industry. We develop courses that allow your co-workers to obtain the skills necessary to carry out their responsibilities in another language. Our main mission is for students to learn to communicate with precision, both orally and in writing, and in everyday and business situations.
2. Interaction between teacher and students
Do you trust a pre-recorded course that does not allow for questions or follow-up and which does not have the support of a teacher that permanently oversees students? At SLE we are always accompanying the learning process and will provide students constant personalized attention.
Our language classes are completely live (through Zoom or another video conferencing platform) and are taught by a certified teacher that will be attentive to each student and questions that may arise. Likewise, a SLE supervisor will randomly join classes to oversee that procedures are followed, the teacher’s performance and student participation. We always strive to improve our teaching methods to satisfy the specific needs of each group and the client.
3. Speed and rhythm of the learning process
Our program can adapt to the learning rhythm of each person, avoiding unnecessary stress and jointly looking for the best results for the company. We provide personalized support to address any need or problem that may arise during the language course. In line with our philosophy, SLE is a company that focuses on human beings. Our priority is to satisfy the requirements of our clients by offering reliable and quality services at a fair price.
We want to fulfill your expectations and give you the best possible service available in the market. Our follow-up and continuous evaluation process is focused on making sure that students have the required skills to apply them at work and their daily life
4. Excellent placement procedures
Our method consists of a placement exam, to determine the student’s level in a foreign language. But this is not all. We also hold an oral interview with each student. In this way we create a detailed profile of each participant. With this information, we organize groups on the basis of language level and assign an instructor with the required teaching skills to each one. During the course there are periodic tests to make sure that each student makes progress in learning the language.
5. With us, there is always something new to study and learn
With other language services there is always the risk that students may not learn anything new, as they may already be familiar with the content of course. This can make them lose interest in the learning process.
At SLE we do not care how advanced your language level is. You will always find a theme of interest. For example, we offer courses to help you prepare for a TOEFL exam; lessons to handle the terminology used by various economic sectors, such as finance, hospitality, legal and technology, as well as courses to draft business reports, among others. We also offer a Spanish program for foreigners, to facilitate an easy and quick adaptation to Mexican life.
At Servicio Lingüístico Empresarial we have more than 42 years of experience teaching languages. We offer the best courses for your company and guarantee that they will help your employees learn a new language effectively, while focusing on the specific needs of your industry. Get in touch with the experts! You will not regret choosing SLE.
