Another advantage is provided by the fact that the entire
teaching process takes place online, on the computer. This background material. In a traditional, frontal teaching
setting there is rarely a chance to use an online dictionary
or call up background information on a certain grammar
item from the Internet. At the risk of generalization, but
the majority of language teaching still takes place in a
(sometimes crowded) classroom with only textbooks and
audio material used. Though, in an online environment,
the teacher is given the freedom of transferring some
responsibility to the student, and does away with the
student’s dependence on the teacher for all new
information. Here the teacher can simply instruct the
student to do a minor online search for the missing data,
information or meaning of word, and in the end simply
check whether the student came up with the right answer.
