At MDT, we offer two types of courses: article-based conversation course and content course.

Article-based conversation class

Each week, the teacher will assign an article (or a video, audio ...) for students to prepare. In class, the teacher will be leading discussions, asking questions while also giving students feedback and corrections. Some teachers are selecting articles from big international publishers, while the others are using movie clips, Netflix shows and podcasts.

Examples:

Content class

A content class has specific topic and outlines that are designed by the teacher. It may consist of more lecturing than an article-based conversation class. Very often the teacher would create a slide file as a guideline of the course. It may take more time for teachers to develop a content class, however, once it's created, the teacher can reuse it for different groups of students.
