The basic approach is — the classes start according to a pre-determined schedule using a course-handler like Moodle. You don’t have to be online at special times or according to any given schedule. But you will need to spend 6 hours or so per day doing the homework. Some (much?) of the homework is customized toward your exact target language. But either way, you’re getting full phonetics, like we used to get with Betty Sue in a LAMP course. You get tools, skills, training, mentoring and COACHING. I’d LOVE to try this. If you have done so and wouldn’t mind writing your testimony, please do so by clicking “Comment” after the web version of this item. Thanks in advance if you can do so.
