Conclusions
• AVE platform has good, appealing, entertaining, well designed materials.
• Useful tools to communication and monitoring.• Suitable contents for daily life.• Four language skills are worked• Enhance student’s autonomy. Different learning
paces are possible. • AVE courses encourage students (appealing
materials, self-assessment, communication)• Different kinds of teaching are possible:
classroom, semi-distance and distance teaching.
Challenges
• Rate of passed students are low (about 25%). We think it is due to:– Social and personal questions (job, familly…) – A certain study level is requiered
• We have to think new approaches to deal with this issue.
