Q: How can I best use the web to help my students?
A: Use the web for what the web is great at:
collaboration, content, and creativity.
Many "English on the internet" products just take textbook exercises and put them on the web. Some have even claimed to "replace the teacher".
We've taken a different approach. Designed by teachers, for teachers, the English360 web application leverages what the web does best: connect people to people, connect people to content, and support the creativity that results.
English360 gives you powerful tools to help you bring your Business English teaching career into the digital age, while at the same time supporting what we believe to be the foundation of effective language teaching: face-to-face learning in the classroom.
- Needs analysis and course building tools provides you with an ongoing assessment of your students' needs, and helps you create a syllabus to meet them.
- Quick and easy e-learning content authoring allows you to develop learning material with easy-to-use templates, for students to access online, or to print and take to class as handouts.
- Collaborative resource repositories allows every teacher to share, search, copy, and modify materials. Our "rip, mix, burn playlist" approach to course design delivers unsurpassed personalization.
- Both ESL/ESP and authentic material are included in your resource repository, letting you use new media such as blogs, wikis, or podcasts, when appropriate for your students.
- Performance-based learning tools helps your students focus on actual on-the-job language performance, accelerating your students' language acquisition and helping you deliver value to your clients.
- Methodology-neutral design allows you to use English360 with any coursebook or teaching approach: communicative, lexical, content based...whatever approach, English360 can help make it easier and more effective.
