Just recently I became a student in two language classes again. I started a tandem Story Listening class with Alice Ayel, who is teaching me Spanish, while I teach her German. At the same time, I have started to take an online French class as part of my Masters of English Studies program. I am excited to take both because I believe that a teacher, who stops learning is like a cook who stops eating. So here is my taste test.

While both classes have a listening comprehension focus, they are fundamentally different in their approach and in how they effect me as a learner. Let's start with the attributes they have in common:
  • both classes are online (University platform/ Skype)
  • both classes give auditory input while also providing some written input
  • both classes are first and foremost listening comprehension classes
As a learner I want to connect meaning with what I hear/read, that is the goal for a language class: I am receiving comprehensible input and gradually I will acquire the language. In order to do this I need supplementation, which can come in these forms:
