Training course for ELC academic staff
By NAIF MASRAHI JAZAN: English Language Center (ELC) of Jazan University organized an international training course this week for academic staff on using the online language program Tell Me More. The three-day course was conducted at ELC headquarters."This course is part of our plan to increase the English language level of Jazan University through activating the self-learning program," said Barakat Al-Makrami, director of ELC at Jazan University.
Tell Me More is an online language teaching program, designed to teach languages such as English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Dutch.
Originally, Tell Me More was designed for self-study, allowing for a more individual based training.
Tell Me More can also be implemented in institutions such as universities where a student can work on the theoretical part, using Tell Me More, leaving more time during the face-to-face encounters.
"The greatest benefit is to guarantee a student full time access to his language course, teaching him an autonomic approach in language learning," said Yvan Floret, senior trainer of the Tell Me More program.
The academic staff at Jazan University includes Saudis, British, Canadian, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indians. They all participated actively during the sessions aimed at implementing and activating the online language program.
Hundreds of institutions are using the program around the globe. Besides Jazan University, Yanbu industrial College has decided to implement it in Saudi Arabia.
"I found the participants were very skilled and very interested. Their questions were accurate and I hope I have provided answers that were satisfactory to everyone," Floret added.
