General Questions
Get to know more about Digital Multilingual and Multimedia Language Laboratory, Robotel SmartClass+, The 21st Century Digital Classroom Management System and Resources, used in orchestrating Interactive Multimedia Learning Activities.
What is a digital language laboratory?
Language learning platforms enable teachers to assign in-class activities, such as pairing and recording, where all students are able to speak concurrently. And self-study recording activities can also be assigned as homework to further increase practice time.
Why use a digital language laboratory?
Before exploring our options for deploying a language lab, it is important to first consider the types of activities that a teacher might need to assign to their students.
Student activities generally fall into one of two categories; synchronous (or “live”), and asynchronous (or “self-study”). At the university or adult learner level, the focus might be exclusively on self-study, while at the middle school or high school level, there is often a blend of live and self-study activities.
What does a 21st century language lab look like?
- WiFi wireless networking
- Tablets
- Smart phones
The combination of these new technologies means that both student and teacher workstations can be completely portable – and not tethered to a specific room. Today, we see a growing number of cart-based portable labs.
We also see a migration toward BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs, where students and teachers bring their own workstations to class.
And we see 1-to-1 programs – where each student is issued a tablet or a laptop upon enrollment.
A 21st century language learning platform embraces learning at any-time, from any-place, and on any-device.
