What is Distance Learning? • Distance Learning is a course based on a book + CD + DVD which can be studied at home and supported by a teacher. • Students complete units of work from IOTY (It’s Over To You/ At Work in Australia). • Each unit is sent to the teacher (either by post, face-to- face or online), who corrects it and sends it back to the student. • The student then contacts the teacher to discuss the unit and do speaking practice and some speaking assessment. • All books are based on life in Australia. • Individualised programs can be customised for students with specific needs. eg. Email etiquette at work, job interview preparation, report writing etc.
