Why do I need a Language Lab?
We are often asked “Why do I need a language lab?” and here are some of the main benefits for investing in one.
Improved examination results
Improve both listening and speaking skills via the following methods; drill type exercises, teacher-led listening activities, self access listening, listen and repeat, translation exercises, stimulus and answer techniques, role play, group discussions and round table discussions.
Home reinforcement of the lab learning
Every laboratory sale comes with a SITE license for students to install and use the LITE software at home or on the move. This means that work can be easily taken to and from the home and lab to help learning and improve results by increasing parental involvement and student self-study capabilities
Save time and money
Conduct speaking tests and exams - all the student recordings can be collected, saved and sent to an examination board in seconds at the end of the exam in MP3 format.
Add to what you already have that works in a flexible manner
A SANAKO language lab works together with such resources as online content, interactive whiteboards, Microsoft Office documents etc... to build upon your existing investments. Our software runs on a standard Windows operating system and will integrate with all the standard file formats and applications and web pages without any need to change them.
Take passive learning to active learning
Allow students to provide peer assessment of one another in the class by collecting student recordings and playing back to the class within seconds. Perform group discussions, role plays, mock interviews, translation exercise, voting games, text chat exercises etc.... but get your students active and they will learn more.
