What LangLab PASSPORT does
LangLab PASSPORT doesn't come with lessons but makes it easy to plan, assemble, and deliver lessons using audio, video, images, and text. Import and adapt existing content or create your own. Link to lessons any resources accessible as Web pages or as files on a server or the student's own computer. In addition to listening and recording, students can view video clips, images, or documents; read instructions, textual material, and written questions in a special text window; and enter answers—from multiple choice to essay answers—by clicking or typing in text boxes.
Instructors can combine these tools to integrate skills and embed language in its cultural context. Students practice individually or in pairs or groups, with support from the teacher through both real-time monitoring and later evaluation and targeted feedback (including comments teachers insert at any spot in recordings). A teacher can let them work at their own pace or take control to have them listen and record in unison, for standardized testing or for improvising lessons there wasn't time to assemble in advance.
LangLab PASSPORT is a pure software solution (no special hardware required) that turns any computer room or classroom into a digital language lab and leverages its resources for distance learning in a virtual lab.
