Brief description
The e-course in question is www.keeleklikk.ee, an e-learning course of Estonian for language skill level 0-A2 which was developed with the support of European Social Fund and Estonian Ministry of Education (a promotional video introducing the course can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQxYJ4511wg&context=C4965a32ADvjVQa1PpcFOJELLVQ0ItMjFWmqDlZNXRnUmeJNfwvog=) The Estonian e-course Keeleklikk (literally: click on language) has been built to be as entertaining as well as effective taking the learner step-by-step through the topics of language. In a nutshell, Keeleklikk includes about 1000 interactive tasks, 100 humorous videos teaching grammar and 200 cartoons, which all lead the learner to a good beginner’s level language skill. Keeleklikk is well suited for self-study. Using the course is free of charge and also the number of learners is not limited. All this means a considerable saving for the State in providing free possibilities for language learning. The course also features a unique possibility that the learners can send their written tasks to a real teacher of Estonian who answers them personally and sends feedback. During the first two months of operation the Keeleklikk got more than 5500 registered users.
