Will there still be language schools in 10 years?
Hi, I'm Ozlem and I'm from Turkey. Here is my question. Will there still be language schools in 10 years?
No, I don't think there will be language schools in 10 years' time. Traditionally, language lessons took place in a classroom, students at their desks and teachers at the front, but this has changed a great deal, hasn't it? I mean, with the COVID in our lives, now we got used to teaching and learning online. And there are new learning management systems that bring teachers and students together. And the teachers keep track of their students, they can send materials from those systems as well.
And secondly, there are also many great apps for a language learner. You can find many apps out there. And thirdly, you can also had a private tutor. You can have your private tutor. You can have your lessons, however and whenever you like. So, see you.
