Language learning requires students to actively engage and break out of our shells, I was particularly impressed with the activities that our instructor had us engage in from the beginning of the semester; she had us singing, stretching, signing from the get-go and quickly established our expectations for how we were expected to interact within the classroom.
“Throughout my education, I’ve taken a number of courses within an online learning environment and this has been one of the absolute best I’ve experienced.”
I can’t say enough about my semester learning from Buckwalter Sensei. Throughout my education, I’ve taken a number of courses within an online learning environment and this has been one of the absolute best I’ve experienced. In fact, I’d say that it exceeded my experiences with on-campus courses.” Melanie, Seton Hill University
Taking an online class is different because it allows for me to work at a more comfortable pace and work ahead if I am able to.
“My teacher was a very good teacher, as she was able to help me to learn Spanish in a fun, interesting way, not just using simple vocabulary and memorization.”
The WOL Staff is truly interested in putting student learning first ensuring that learning can happen anytime and anywhere. They have been responsive to the needs of our learners, listened to our feedback, and redesigned their program to meet the needs of our learners.
I’ve taken up studying Japanese again using Duolingo, and I still remember the kana and several words like it was yesterday. I still can identify if something is a verb or a negative, too; you sure did a great job!
“This year was my first year taking a fully online class because I am a freshman in high school. Next year, I am taking the next level of online language, Latin two, and other online classes due to my instructor exceeding my expectations of an online class. Any time my fellow classmates or I had a question, my teacher was available for a clear explanation.”
I like how it is online. It is fun to learn and you can meet new people.
“The communication with the World of Learning staff throughout the process was outstanding!! They were super responsive, listened to our feedback, and coordinated with us to make adjustments based on our building’s schedule. The live sessions were instrumental in providing a cohesive, engaging learning environment for our students that directly involved the students in interacting and communicating with the instructor.”
“I certainly appreciate all that you and World of Learning have provided for our students for Spanish instruction. It has been a good experience for all involved and provided a viable solution to our Spanish instruction needs. The flexibility and the thoroughness of your staff has been greatly appreciated by the North Star School District.” Thaddeus Kiesnowski, Principal – North Star HS
