Nellie's English lessons are online tutorials for students and teachers. The lessons are available for students who wish to improve their English reading, speaking, and writing skills and for teachers who wish to continue learning.

 

Teachers are life long learners.  As an experienced teacher, I am aware of the importance of professional development. I invite ESL/EFL and other mainstream teachers to join NELS to improve their performance. Teachers receive training on how to integrate technology and enhance student involvement in the learning process.

 

My name is Nellie Deutsch and I have been teaching English as a second and foreign language (ESL/EFL) both in the traditional and online classroom for many years. The online lessons are conducted in an online learning environment similar to a traditional classroom. Each online classroom has a white board, a Window browser, a microphone area, and a chat text box. The students learn as they would in a regular classroom. The room is moderated by a qualified and accredited English teacher with training in online instruction.

The program caters to adults who are generally too busy with work, studies, or business to attend regular English classes. Let's face it most people are just too busy making a living to find the time to attend the traditional language learning schools. It is difficult to schedule classes and keep appointments. Sometimes just thinking about the traffic and the bad weather is enough to keep many of us at home. It's often more convenient to stay at the comfort of our homes after a hard day at the office.

The requirements for online lessons are a computer, an Internet connection, a microphone, and speakers.  Instead of using textbooks, learners use three online learning tools such as Moodle learning environments, wikis, social blogs, voice discussions, and virtual classroom.

Motivating students for life-long learning is important to the future of education. Teachers will learn how to integrate technology into their classes by creating online learning environments. Teachers will learn to create and use WebQuests to promote student collaboration and team work. If you are a teacher and wish to learn how to integrate technology into your lessons contact me about joining an online on how to integrate web 2.0 tools, a WebQuest class,  or how to improve your writing. You may also wish to teach online. I have had very positive online learning experiences as an MA (Education, Curriculum, and Technology) and doctoral student in Education Leadership specializing in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix. I believe online communication is very effective in enhancing personal and professional development.
 

Advantages

Online learning has many advantages. One major benefit is that it provides an excellent alternative to many of us who have busy lifestyles and find it difficult to schedule and keep appointments. Another advantage is that online learning has unlimited opportunities for an open and effective channel of communication. A person can express his or her feelings openly without the limitations often posed by face to face learning environments.
