How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or academic contexts to distinguish traditional classroom instruction from online or distance learning. It carries a sense of physical presence that is highly valued for interactive learning. While it functions as a modifier, it is rarely used as a standalone verb in casual conversation.
Examples
Is this course face-to-face or online?
I prefer face-to-face teaching because I can ask the teacher immediately.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this to describe any meeting, but it is strictly reserved for educational or training settings. Use 見面 or 面對面 for general social or business encounters instead.
