Setting up pair and group work:
Submitted by peter on Fri, 2023-08-25 10:26
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.

A frequent event in the language classroom is when a new student joins a group, either because they are new to the school, or because they have changed classes for some other reason. This video shows how to use the group system to immediately assign tasks for them at the appropriate level.

Because FL learning requires regular communicative practice, students are often working from multiple locations. This video shows how FL teachers can use their admin rights to reset multiple passwords in the language lab, independent from their school network.

When assigning FL speaking tasks, it is helpful for teachers to provide students with an audio stimulus to help them with intonation and pronunciation. This video shows how to do this using voice entry in the Schoolshape Language Laboratory.

How to edit a student's name in the Schoolshape Language Lab
Submitted by peter on Thu, 2023-08-24 07:20
If you think small things like this don’t matter you have neither spent the night with a mosquito nor suffered from students unable to log in and complete their work due to misspellings in school rostas and databases.
