LEARN ENGLISH ON YOUR SMARTPHONE: You have got to be kidding!


LEARN ENGLISH ON YOUR SMARTPHONE: 

You have got to be kidding!


When I received the following, I thought it must have been a joke. But these people are serious! Anything to speed up the cell phone zombification of our students!

Colleagues,

I wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of what I believe is the most exciting new development in English Language training in a long time.  In order to better serve those in our community who are adept at new technologies such as smartphones, etc. and would like an alternative to traditional classroom instruction in English, we’re piloting a new course designed specifically to be taught via smartphone (it could also be accessed via tablets, computers, etc.).  The first we’ve developed is for our intermediate level Basic English as a Second Language course focusing on reading/writing. It is our intention to continue developing additional non-credit smartphone courses as the market dictates.  If you or someone you know could benefit from ESL taught in an entirely asynchronous manner, please take a look at the enclosed file and give us a call at Community Education at 617-228-2462.

Reading and Writing Smartphones for BSL Level II  (BSL-006A)  begins October 17 with an orientation at our Charlestown facility, then moves entirely on-line.  A special introductory price of $99 is being offered for this pilot class.  A free assessment is required for proper placement (as always) and course registrations are being taken now.


Thanks,

Les

  2. Obviously from your terrible grammar you are probably getting more brain damage from your SmartPhone than you are learning English from it.
