In this article, we will explore how LanguageClass can help language teachers manage their diverse responsibilities and deliver enriching online learning experiences for their students.

Delivering Interactive OnlineLessons

‍

Compared to in-person classes, online classes give teachers the flexibility to customize their schedules and workspace. However, online instructors may experience a lack of social interaction, fewer networking opportunities, and difficulties managing potential distractions for their students.

With features such as video conferencing, file sharing, and instant messaging, LanguageClass is a place where language teachers and language learners come together to exchange knowledge and ideas virtually.Teachers can get creative and engage students with built-in learning tools including an interactive whiteboard equipped with drawing and text tools.Additionally, the virtual classroom encourages participation via the raise hand feature, and fosters community through an in-platform reward system. No matter where you are in the world, LanguageClass brings your classroom to life.

Assigning and Grading Assignments

‍

Learning a new language requires constant practice and regular feedback to reinforce what students have learned. For language teachers, this feedback often comes in the form of assignments that encourage students to practice the content they learned outside of regular class time.

While beneficial for students, grading assignments can be time-consuming, especially in larger classes. This is where LanguageClass's automated grading system provides significant benefits. These auto-graded assignments provide students with instant feedback on their speaking and dictation assignments, along with an analysis highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement.

Here are some assignments included in LanguageClass:

‍

Speaking Practice

Teachers can select a sentence or a paragraph for students to read aloud. The LanguageClass system will then score and correct the student's audio recording.

‍

Dictation

Teachers can upload audio or text for students to review and answer. The system will automatically compare, correct, and grade student responses.

Encourage Independent Learning

‍

While well-structured lessons and supportive resources are crucial for language instruction, it is equally important to promote a culture of independent learning. LanguageClass comes with a range of built-in language learning tools that allow students to practice languages and get real-time feedback. Let's take a look at these tools:

‍

Translation

Translate any text to your native language at the tap of a button. You can set the default translation in the settings located on the profile tab.

‍

Correction

Corrections allow teachers and students to help each other learn by correcting mistakes, suggesting more natural expressions, and explaining specific grammar rules. Corrections let you edit what the other person wrote and add notes and helpful pointers. Corrections can also be saved to favorites and tagged for easy search and reference in the future.

‍

AI Grammar

AI Grammar helps students navigate grammar rules using artificial intelligence. The model is trained on huge, multilingual datasets of text and analyzes both individual words and sentences to ensure they are free of grammatical errors.

‍

Speak

Not all languages are phonetic or read like they are spelled. The speak function takes out that complexity, so students know exactly how to pronounce a word.

‍

Transliteration

This function is specific to character-based languages that do not use the Latin alphabet, such as Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.Transliteration spells out how to pronounce these words to help students overcome the initial hurdles of learning a new writing system.

Managing Multiple Students

‍

Managing a group of students with different individual learning needs is another challenge faced by language teachers. Things can become even more difficult when there are multiple classes. This is whereLanguageClass groups can simplify how teachers manage classes and communicate with individual students who require additional guidance.

Teachers can create group chats, and interact with students through class notifications, announcements, messages, and calls on theLanguageClass platform. Teachers can also review applications, assign administrators, and set quiet hours for further control over their groups.Furthermore, there is a shared calendar accessible to both teachers and students, to easily view upcoming classes.

These tools allow teachers effortlessly manage multiple classes and communications. Minimizing time spent on administrative tasks, so instructors can focus on their primary task of teaching.

Analyzing Teaching Data

‍

Collecting data is essential for language teachers to gain a deeper understanding of their student's progress. Additionally, analyzing this data and making necessary adjustments to teaching methods are crucial for achieving teaching excellence.

LanguageClass offers valuable insights by tracking your teaching progress, including the number of students and classes as well as student attendance and behavior. This data enables teachers to identify patterns and trends in student performance, and adapt content and teaching style to set students up for success.
