People planning to teach English abroad could benefit from online language courses, a report has suggested.
An article in the Straits Times newspaper says online lessons make it easier to fit learning a particular language with a normal day-to-day schedule, with a huge range of languages just a few clicks away.
Dr Yvonne Kwee said: "When I saw this option, I thought it would give me the flexibility to work from home and whenever I wanted."
This follows a report in the East London and West Essex Guardian that pupils at a Redbridge school will be taught entirely online for a fortnight in what is thought to be the first example of exclusively web-based secondary school teaching in the UK.
The newspaper says lessons will be conducted online while Loxford School of Science and Technology moves to a new home. Pupils will have questions answered via online forums and participate in virtual lessons.
