The Schoolshape Language Lab provides listening practice + reading / writing exercises + speaking practice + paired conversations all in one place. Both teaching and assessment are controlled and assessed from a single teacher screen. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter #celebratespeaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skfPIdbAlX0

Sharing cultures

Teachers teaching the sharing of culture, beliefs, language, heritage and values are promoting a vital elixir for global harmony. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter #celebratespeaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTerpqOnbYI

Panda German Intro

This video shows you can create a simple dialogue in a Schoolshape worksheet. Students can build asynchronous conversations on the same sheet using the pairing function, along with writing and cloze exercises to underpin the relevant grammar and vocabulary. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter https://youtu.be/UT4GW3etQO4

Daily practice for students in seeing, hearing, speaking and scaffolded writing

Daily practice for students in seeing, hearing, speaking and scaffolded writing accompanies the most effective teaching, easy to organise and monitor in the Schoolshape Language Laboratory. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with peter@schoolshape.com if you would like further information or a free trial for your school. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn793bR6w_w

Setting up pair and group work

Time spent on structured language practice is invaluable. Opportunities for synchronous and/or asynchronous conversations (spoken and/or written) are easily provided in every Schoolshape worksheet. Practice makes perfect! All the conventional language lab functions are embedded in worksheets. After working with language teachers since 2009, we came up with this design. It's a real timesaver because all participants in the realtime dialogues, conversations and collaborations are guaranteed to be 'on the same hymn sheet', with immediate focus on the task in hand. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter https://youtu.be/yhi_bxJ3jZw
