Despite the burgeoning implementation of LMS online language courses in school districts, the U.S. Department of Education reports that out of every 100 college credits taken in the U.S., only 8.6 are for a language class. On the other hand, a recent Eurobarometer survey tells us that about 56% of Europeans have at least one second language. It's an unfortunate truth: the U.S. places far behind other countries in second-language acquisition.
The U.S. is among the most well-off nations on the planet, with access to the best technology. Given this, why aren't more Americans capitalizing on language acquisition resources such as online and in-person tutors, and university and LMS online language courses?
Of course, LMS online language courseware is rather special. Different from other learning topics which maintain their liveliness on the page, language requires out loud practice; sole dependence on online courseware may not work out for many students.
In order to gain full mastery over a language, a whole lot of word and sound repetition is required. Sure, an online course can require students to listen to and repeat words, without someone there to provide feedback a student's pronunciation may be completely off. For this reason, blended language learning is best. And truly, most e-learning works best with complemented by face-to-face education.
When used in blended learning, LMS online language courses can be truly efficient. Significantly for high schools across the U.S., LMS online language courses help answer a range of problems, including: insufficient language course offerings, language teacher shortages, no interest in language acquisition, lack of AP classes in some areas, lack of physical space in schools, and most of all, lack of funding. As schools across the country plan to downsize their education programs, online tools are becoming an increasingly appealing option.
Practicing a language online with other students is especially helpful for shy students, but it benefits everyone by making them feel more comfortable practicing. Language students have a range of collaborative tools available to them online in the form of screen and audio recordings, LMSs, podcasts, VoIP services and discussion forums.
