[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why you all keep saying students won't have any opportunity to learn a foreign language at WVU. The in-person dept is to be cut. They will likely partner with other colleges to offer online courses. They already have online courses in a variety of subjects.

Online foreign language classes can be really great, you can get a native speaker that is great at teaching and learn in a small group format.

I took Spanish classes in college (not my major) and a lot of what we did was watch telenovelas, read books, and write papers. You don't have to be in class to do any of those things.

They have said they are looking at an app. Do you really think people learn languages well from an app? LOL

I've studied several foreign languages including two that I took online classes in and I can say with some authority that online courses are a pale imitation of being in a class. As those of us with kids who went through the remote year of learning know.[/quote]

They also said they are looking at online courses with other universities.[/quote]
