In recent years, distance education through the Internet has almost become a way of life, both in our professional and personal lives. We communicate with people around the world through conference calls or video conferences. Chatting with friends and family, holding business meetings, earning a degree, meeting someone new from an online dating service, and providing instruction in almost any available field are just a few of the benefits of using the technology that the Internet offers.

Why Are You Choosing Skype Internet Video Conferencing To Improve Your Communication Skills? What are the benefits? In this article, we’ll take a look at the reasons why video conferencing classes are becoming so popular with people from all walks of life.

1. Skype is free!

Video conferencing software, Skype, can be downloaded for free on any computer, be it a PC or a Mac. In today’s world, we are all looking for the most cost-effective way to interact with others, and there is nothing better than free!

2. Skype offers three methods of communication to suit everyone’s needs.

Once you install Skype on your computer, you can communicate with the people on your contact list using a variety of methods: audio only, video conferencing, and text chat. Video conferencing is more like face-to-face, because you have the luxury of seeing and hearing the person you are talking to. Most of the people I work with prefer video conferencing to face-to-face classes. There are some people who prefer audio conferencing to video conferencing, as video conferencing is more threatening than audio alone. Skype has something for everyone!

3. You have the option of private or group classes with Skype.

Skype gives you the option of having a private class where you would work directly with me alone, or a small group class with up to four people.

While Skype offers small group and private options, almost everyone I work with prefers private lessons. The main reason for preferring a private class is that most people do not want to be corrected in front of others, as it makes them feel self-conscious and embarrassed. They are much more comfortable working directly with an instructor.

4. Skype video conferencing is of high quality.

Because Skype offers good quality video conferencing, there is generally no delay between movements and speech. Occasionally, if a person doesn’t have a fast enough internet connection, Skype’s video conferencing feature may not be an option. In this case, they may need to switch to the audio-only feature in Skype or use the phone. From my experience working with hundreds of people, there is no difference between improvement rates for people using video and audio conferencing.

5. Working on the Internet allows me to work with people from all over the world.

Skype uses the Internet for audio and video conferencing, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their location. This is a great advantage! The only time when the Internet would not be suitable for classes is if the student does not have the Internet or has a very slow Internet connection. The other consideration is the difference in time zones. Care must be taken to ensure that time zones are correctly identified for each person so that classes can be scheduled appropriately.

6. Having classes via videoconference is very convenient.

Today’s professionals work long hours and often travel frequently for work projects. Because there is no travel time associated with classes over Skype, you can arrange to take classes whenever it’s convenient for you: at work in a conference room, at home before or after work, or even in a hotel if you are on a business trip. These options make taking classes on Skype very convenient.

In short, we are all busy with our day to day and free time is precious. Because there is so little downtime, we are always looking for convenient ways to schedule activities and classes without them becoming a burden. In today’s high-tech society, Skype video conferencing software provides the solution. For accent reduction classes and communication skills training, it’s the perfect way for people from all walks of life and backgrounds to minimize extra time outside of family or work. Good to know that you are just one click away from taking a class to help you achieve your goals in spoken English!
