Results Institution : 2iSA AMIO First use : Mai 2014 Number of students : 130 Implementation Model : Blended course. Length of the course : one year for the 2ISA Group. Objective : improving General English and preparing students for TOEIC 2 x 90-minute face-to-face classes. EDO online and one-to-many (face-to-face) to support slow learners and keep motivation. Students take the TOEIC or TOEIC Bridge at the end of the course (depending on their level) Results : 85% of the students completed all the online courses. Success rate for the TOEIC exam highly improved.

Conclusion Ongoing monitoring thanks to the TMS Allows all the levels to improve at their own pace at the same time. Provides a dynamic and structured framework to those who have few face-to-face courses (engineers)/those who, due to their handicap, have difficulties to keep concentrated for a long time during the course.
