Without communication, language is meaningless

Perhaps the most valuable assessment tool for foreign languages is a student’s audio timeline wherein is evidence of how well, how often, and how effectively they can use their target language. In fact I don’t know how teachers manage without it, or why award bodies don’t demand it.

The ‘Add teacher’ button on Schoolshape worksheets provides opportunities for pairing, sharing, dialogue and peer assessment. Language practice need never be a solitary exercise.

Asynchronous and synchronous audio
Submitted by peter on Thu, 2023-05-18 14:07
When providing opportunities for language practice there is both asynchronous and synchronous audio, video or text. Either mode is a key to success in communication.

Speaking Confidence
Submitted by peter on Tue, 2023-05-16 11:38
Speaking a foreign language requires a confidence acquired only through regular, structured, teacher controlled, practice opportunities.
