Sabio Serevi's ESL school (Mature)

 

Sabio Serevi is an ESL teacher who has created his own space in SL to conduct classes.  If you link to the slurl listed below, you will be taken to his "home" where students can see a list of classes that are available and view prices for both one on one and group lessons.  Private lessons cost $1000L/hour and group classes are $800L/hour.  He maintains a regular weekly schedule of conversation, grammar, and writing courses.  His home also has grammar handouts and TOEFL preparation materials for sale for between $199L and $499L.  He has also posted his CV on the wall of his home and embedded a video introduction that he narrates.  Generally this is an interesting example of what private language teaching in SL could look like.

Second Life English (PG) (info from their associated website: http://www.secondlifeenglish.com )

 

     The ultimate aim of Second Life English is to assist foreign language teachers in their efforts to use the virtual world of Second Life as an instructional medium. Moreover, we seek to help empower language learners with the English language (and other languages) by providing various opportunities to participate in learning activities. Team-teaching events are offered to allow teachers a chance to collaboratively explore various approaches to facilitating language acquisition in a 3D environment.

     We aspire to act as a no-strings-attached resource for the bringing together of language learners and teachers as well as in-world language groups and schools. Teachers who participate in the Second Life English Community are encouraged to communicate the terms and conditions of whatever language learning assistance they may choose to provide directly to their students. Second Life English does not wish to portray itself as a school. We do not 'have' teachers or students. We are simply a community which intends to lend a helping hand to language enthusiasts.

     Second Life English has recently acquired a new SIM which it intends to maintain and develop as a free resource and meeting point for language enthusiasts. In addition to the SIM itself, we will make an effort to provide free ongoing workshops and seminars to teachers. Other free resources include (or will soon include) an ESL/SL orientation walk, a self-study circuit, in-world quizzing tools, 'launch pad classrooms', LMS-integrated tools, etc.

English Village (PG)

 

English Village is one of the early language schools in Second Life and it is also quite large.  It occupies its own island and includes a beach, library, dance area, classrooms, and more.  English village offers classes and also has an active teacher's group.  Their policy is that you must volunteer teach for at least 4 hours, after which you can begin charging for your courses.  Well worth checking out!
