Apparently opposing views sum up a clash of opinion in English language teacher training that has pitted “traditionalist” champions of the exchange of knowledge through direct personal contact against “innovators” convinced that online communication can bridge distance and time. But a middle way has also emerged. Known as blended learning, this combines elements of online delivery with face-to-face exchange.
