Online+Learning+and+English+as+a+second+language

Online class for English as a second language is not adequate. Students might effectively learn reading and writing of English through online learning, but not speaking. Communication is the most important part of learning language. It would be hard to communicate with other if students take the online class because they are not face to face. At the beginning, English learner can’t speak the complete sentence so they use body language, but it would be impossible if they are just online. English learners who live in non-English speaking countries would be great for online learning since English speakers would not be common. However, students in the United States do not need online learning for language learning. Public schools are offering ESL program for students who have difficulty in English. They offer classes only for English learning students and extra tutoring before and after school. ([])
