Accelerated Student Fluency

The biggest barrier to learning to speak a foreign language is the lack of oral practice and inadequate teacher feedback. In classes where there are as many as 30 or more students, this isn’t surprising. WebSwami ensures that students get the right variety of practice and 1-to-1 feedback, therefore accelerating fluency by letting them:

 

  • Improve oral fluency online and outside of the classroom by actually practicing to speak – not write – the target language.
  • Develop a more accurate native accent using the ‘Voice Graph’, which not only measures stress/rhythm, but is the only one of its kind to show intonation.
  • Enjoy a wide range of interactive activities including video-recorded simulations, video/audio matching, Flash games and many more, presented through an interface designed by an award winning team.
  • Refine the articulation of words using the webcam recording feature, to improve mouth and facial movements with model examples.
  • Dominate and fully focus on web practice sessions without classroom distractions.
  • Improve confidence to interact with foreigners and save face by practising in private (especially important in Asia).
  • Review recordings unlimited times to perfect accent and exercise performances, so that even the slowest/weakest students get enough practice.
  • Take advantage of round the clock, anytime and anywhere access to practice activities.
  • Learn from mistakes with detailed 1-to-1 video feedback from teachers, regardless of class size.
  • Reinforce and retain classroom material via targeted fun activities.
