Global LT Instructor Qualifications
Global LT has selected our best language providers as our e-Langua® instructors. Our instructors are native-speaking with certifiable teaching experience. Those credentials have been enhanced with training on the WebEx delivery platform, producing instructors who understand the differences between classroom and online delivery methods. Our hands-on approach to teacher training helps foster empathy for the students’ needs and challenges.
Student Requirements
Global LT believes students need specific support/equipment to experience the most effective learning. Companies should supply their students with a webcam, a microphone (to enable VOIP) or a landline for teleconference capabilities, as well as a high-speed internet connection. A pen mouse is also needed for students of Asian languages.
Course Material
Traditional text books and Global LT’s own online training tool augment the e-Langua® courses.
