ONLINE vs CLASSROOM Which is better for English
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm I have a question for you
today is it better to learn English in
the classroom or online let’s talk about
it a lot of you probably already learned
English in the classroom
maybe you had classes in middle school
or high school for English maybe even in
college maybe after college you went to
a classroom to learn English let’s talk
about what that experience was like you
probably signed up for a class the
school chose your teacher and the school
chose the materials that you would learn
so you had to really trust that the
school the administration and the
teacher would be exactly what you need
it this style is pretty easy because you
don’t have to do much work you just go
to the class and you listen to the
teacher maybe you have a conversation
with the teacher you don’t really need
to research too much but if you learn
online you need to do a little bit more
work because online there are a lot of
different materials you could use you
might have a choice of 50 different
English teachers
what kind of YouTube videos are you
going to watch what kind of materials
what kind of audio what kind of study
methods are you gonna choose online
there is a much bigger variety of things
that you can choose to learn English so
if you learn online you can choose the
best teacher and the best materials for
you but it’s a little bit more work so
this means you have to find something
that works for you but when you go to
the classroom you just sit there and
trust the teacher maybe the teacher has
great materials maybe they’re an awesome
teacher wonderful you’re probably gonna
learn a lot if you put in a lot of
effort
but online you’re the one that needs to
find the materials so right now you
found this video maybe you found it on
YouTube on Facebook from a friend you
put in extra effort to try to find
materials that would be useful for you
so you know very well that when you
learn online it takes a little bit more
effort but maybe you can choose the best
materials for you instead of trusting
that the school or the administration or
the classroom teacher is going to choose
the best thing for you I know for myself
I like to choose what I want I like to
be in control of what I’m learning and
maybe you too you like to choose what’s
working for you and if it doesn’t work
for you you don’t want to have already
paid for a class that’s not going to
work for you you want to choose what’s
best for you so this is some of my ideas
about the differences between a
classroom and online learning but I want
to know from you what do you think are
some other differences between the
classroom and online learning in the
classroom versus learning online which
one is better for you which one do you
prefer
maybe Lenny in the in the classroom is a
little bit easier you don’t need to find
the materials or the teacher it’s
already there but you don’t have a
choice
about the materials or the teacher and
learning online you need to put in extra
effort to find the materials to find the
teacher but you can choose your style
you can choose the person that’s the
best fit for you so tell me your opinion
in the comments below let me know which
method do you prefer what are some
differences that you have found and I’ll
see you again the next time bye if you
