Learning process

Lang-Land.com does not limit teachers in the choice of teaching methods. Our task is to give a set of universal tools, with which a teacher will be able to form the most relevant training method for the particular student.

 

Smart board with a training unit and video chat

 

Video chat

Video chat is pursued by the facilities of a standard browser. That means that you do not need to install extra software (such as Skype). At this stage video chat is supported by following browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, Opera and Yandex Browser.

Video chat image into the form of small pictures on the board or it can be deployed full screen. In the first case there will be enough space for training units, in the second case you will be able to see your partner better.

In addition, you can use text chat, in which a teacher and a student can exchange text messages and files.

Training units

The teacher can set and adapt universal training units for a particular student or a group of students. Units can be filled with different difficulty level materials. So the teacher can teach both general vocabulary and specific topic (business, exam preparation, etc.). Each training module can be presented in a teacher’s library in several copies. Each copy can have its own content. For example: module №1 – “Look at the picture, listen and repeat”, copy 1 is filled with pictures and words on the topic “Seasons”. Copy 2 can be filled with illustrations and audio files on "Sights of London". Third copy is "Numbers and numerals."

 

Training units on the interactive board

Teacher can post training units on the interactive board. Type of modules and the sequence of their placement are determined by the teacher. Most of the units involve student answers. After the student answered the questions and click "Save changes" on the board, his answers appear on the teacher’s board. The following illustrations show how training units look like on the interactive board and describe the options for their use.
