Opening of the Learner’s Online Learning Center
Tustin, CA, July 20, 2011
LDS & Associates, LLC, announces the opening of their Online Learning Center (OTC) to the ESL adult learner. “We have conducted online professional education programs for instructors since 2005,” said Lorna D. Sikorski, President. “For nearly six years, we’ve also conducted corporate instructional programs for accent improvement, written English, presentation skills, etc., for our US and international sites. Many have asked for open enrollment training programs: now, we’re ready to do it!”
LDS is known for their quality online programs using an iLinc portal. “We were very careful in choosing our provider, for we had high expectations for the level of polish and interaction we wanted with our participants. The latest round of improvements in our iLinc platform clearly exceeds those expectations, allowing all parties to save on the hidden costs of conducting and attending classes at specific sites,” continued Lorna.
LDS knows how to design programs for working adults. Their training targets critical skills for adult communication that go beyond the basics of American English. “Most adult learners have an intuitive sense of what they need to polish their English skills: we hope they will look to us to pinpoint those needs in our new, themed, online programs.”
Interested adults can find the newest courses in the LDS Online Store “ESL Learner Training Center” or contact us for further information.
