Among them:

• Communication: Many students are more comfortable engaging in meaningful discussions online than in a classroom. These students might have hearing or speech impairments; speak different languages; have severe social anxiety, or simply need more time to organize their thoughts.
• Personalized learning: Not all students learn the same way. Web-based learning allows instructors to deliver the same content using different media, like videos or simulations, personalising learning. Online classes providing round-the-clock access to materials and lectures also let students study when they feel most focused and engaged.
• Accessibility: Online programs transcend time, geographic, and other barriers to higher education. This can be helpful for those who work full-time, live in remote regions, or serve in the military.
• Adaptability: Online teaching materials that integrate text-and other adaptive technologies support learners with physical, behavioural, and learning challenges.
• Efficiency: Studies show online students tend to achieve the same learning results in half the time as classroom-based students.
• Engagement: Online instructors can use games, social media, virtual badges, and other engaging technologies to motivate students and enhance learning.

Choosing the right English program takes time and careful research no matter how one intends to study. Learning styles, goals, and programs always vary, but students considering online learning must consider technical skills, ability to self-motivate, and other factors specific to the medium.
 

There are different ways to structure an online course: an instructor can let students review materials on their own time, use video conferencing for group sessions, or implement hands-on “classroom” sessions.
