Training units

To make the process of teaching a language more convenient, we developed special training units, which can be used in the lessons by each tutor. In the structure of the units implemented cutting-edge learning techniques that simulate natural psychological mechanisms. Through our interactive methodological materials, students can rapidly develop the skills of the visual, phonetic, associative and other ways of memorizing new foreign words. Through innovative technological base of our units, you can realize all the benefits of online learning. Teacher can use not only text and images setting in their work, but also audio and video and even interactive tasks in a form of game.

Each tutor has the ability to combine different units in the correct order, according to the current pedagogical problems. In addition, every unit is editable, can be supplemented by teachers’ personal materials and can be transformed into a form that is the most relevant to the particular style of any teacher. And specifically for tutors, whose training methods are beyond the scope of typical exercise, we have created a standard unit template on the basis of which they can easily design a unique training material.
