ORT language course: English with Skype

On January, 31^st, 2011, at the Training Center of ORT-SPb the first Skype-dialogue between listeners of a language course and employees of ORT in New York has passed.

The basic feature of a language course of ORT is an orientation of training on colloquial practice development: on each lesson, in groups, with the teacher, in language laboratory. But dialogue with native speakers has especial value. Modern technologies come to the aid of ORT – videoconference service of Skype programs allowed establishing a contact with three employees of New York office of World ORT in a few minutes.

For short half an hour our students and colleagues from America had time to discuss work and home life, hobby and training conditions in ORT. Our American colleagues were especially interested by the reasons on which listeners have chosen ORT language course.
