The secret of organising effective courses is not in where you do them, but in how you do them

Nowadays, the offer to study languages online is overwhelming.

There are all kinds of courses, platforms, apps, virtual coaches, and hybrid courses in addition to a wide variety of proposals.

Everything is welcome, and at Institut Nòrdic, we believe that to learn, it is advisable to try all kinds of tools.

But we also believe that, to make courses that engage and in which you learn in an organized way, it is not necessary to invent anything new.

Our bet is to continue with the Nordic philosophy of always, which already includes everything necessary, and keep it updated.

Currently, all Institut Nordic courses are online group courses. We have left the classroom to use Zoom.

But has anything changed in the classes? Does moving from face-to-face to online courses entail any substantial modification in the school’s philosophy? Well, no. We continue to hold the classes as always, and we consider that it has worked very well for us.

Nowadays, the secret of organizing effective courses is not in where you hold them, but in how you conduct them.

Any quality language course, face-to-face or online, requires a professional teacher, modern materials, clear objectives, a fair evaluation with certificates, efficiency, and an organization that supports the teaching and the students in such a way that they can concentrate on what they should be doing: teaching and learning.

In addition, online courses have to be technically flawless with good sound, image, and connection on the part of both student and teacher.

At Institut Nordic, we plan our courses based on a philosophy that has already been proven to work and the high motivation of the students. Nordic language teachers could not be more satisfied with the results.

Here are a few highlights from the latest student evaluation survey (score 1 – 5).
