21 Conclusions AVE platform has good, appealing, entertaining, well designed materials. Useful tools to communication and monitoring. Suitable contents for daily life. Four language skills are worked Enhance students autonomy. Different learning paces are possible. AVE courses encourage students (appealing materials, self-assessment, communication) Different kinds of teaching are possible: classroom, semi-distance and distance teaching.

22 Challenges Rate of passed students are low (about 25%). We think it is due to: –Social and personal questions (job, familly…) –A certain study level is requiered We have to think new approaches to deal with this issue.
