ETHOS
Rapid evolution of communication technologies has changed language pedagogy and language use, enabling new forms of discourse, new forms of authorship, and new ways to create and participate in communities. How do these changes affect the ways we learn, use, and teach languages?
Internet has become a part of our lives in ways we have never envisaged before. Today, even self-learning is possible. We find in it the advantages of an independent, customized learning tool, but we still miss the traditional human aspect behind it. In the face of a world where time and distance are no longer a barrier, online coaching proposes an alternative route to bridging the gap.
To achieve a truly effective use of the language in the professional and cultural environment, competent support is useful and necessary.
