Virtual Language Classes

-

by Lauren Cameron

Virtual language classes have become increasingly popular in recent years, and with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have become the norm for many language learners. However, some people still believe that virtual language classes are not as effective as in-person classes. In this blog post, we'll explore how virtual language classes are just as effective as in-person classes.

    1. Flexibility

Virtual language classes offer flexibility that in-person classes cannot. Students can schedule classes at a time that is convenient for them, regardless of their location. This means that language learners can access the best teachers and instructors from around the world. It also allows learners to fit language learning into their busy schedules.

    2. Access to a Wide Range of Resources

Virtual language classes offer access to a wide range of resources that can enhance the learning experience. Students can access online dictionaries, language learning software, and multimedia resources to supplement their learning. Additionally, virtual classes often provide access to online discussion forums, virtual tutoring, and study groups, which can help learners practice their language skills outside of class time.

    3. Engaging Learning Experience

Virtual language classes can provide an engaging learning experience that is just as effective as in-person classes. With the help of various online tools and resources, instructors can create interactive and engaging lessons that promote active participation and collaboration among students. Online language games, quizzes, and interactive exercises can help learners practice their language skills in a fun and engaging way.

    4. Personalized Learning

Plans change, and so do students’ needs. Virtual language classes offer a personalized learning experience that is tailored to the student's needs of that moment. Language instructors can customize lessons during the class to match the student's learning style, interests, and skill level. With the help of various online tools and resources, instructors can provide a range of learning activities that cater to different learning styles. In-person classes, on the other hand, often follow a more set lesson plan.

    5. Affordability

Virtual language classes are often more affordable than in-person classes. With no travel expenses, learners can save money on transportation and accommodation costs, which can be more affordable for learners on a budget.

By embracing virtual language classes, language learners can access the best instructors and resources from around the world, and receive a high-quality language education that is tailored to their needs.

Language Interpretation in American K-12 Schools

by Doug Price The provision of language interpretation services in American schools is guided by federal legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. These laws mandate that school districts must take reasonable steps to overcome language barriers that impede students' equal access to education. As a result, school districts have implemented various strategies to meet the language needs of their diverse student populations. These strategies play a crucial role in ensuring effective communication and educational equity for students who are non-native English speakers or have limited proficiency in the English language. But the key consumers of interpretation services are parents, not students. For the most part, these students are 2 nd and 3 rd generation Americans who grow up speaking English outside the home even if they still speak their native tongue at home with their parents. Parents are the ones who most often

Written by  Bethany Jamison, NIC Every industry comes with distinct vernacular! A common misconception specific to the American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting Community is that the use of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is the same as using Video Relay Services (VRS). Although both types of service are provided via a digital platform and use similar equipment, these services are quite different. Let’s take a closer look.            According to the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) website, “ VRS, like other forms of Telecommunication Relay Services (TRS) allows persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) to communicate through the telephone system with hearing persons. The VRS caller, using a television or a computer with a video camera device and a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection, contacts a VRS caller, who is a qualified interpreter. They communicate with each other in sign language through a video link. The VRS caller then places a telephone call to th
