Features and Benefits

Discussion Activities Develop Oral Language Skills. In addition to reading practice, listening exercises and model imitation activities, a discussion activity has been included in SANAKO Study 700 v 5.00, strengthening the benefits provided to learners. While the feature adds depth to the solution’s language learning activities, teachers will be pleased to see that students using this entry-level system will benefit from new opportunities to develop their speaking abilities by engaging in pair and group discussion (small groups).

Voting enhances Student Engagement. A Voting feature in all Study products ensures more opportunities for student interaction and collaboration and encourages greater student participation and engagement. Students can provide live feedback during the lesson and influence the pace of teaching.

Adjustable Student Thumbnails in Separate Windows. Teachers can work with separate windows, making it easier to more effectively monitor student activity in the Study environment. Using a dual display system makes it easy to monitor, guide and support students while working with other applications on a separate display. The enhancement also allows teachers to adjust the size of student thumbnails for more focused monitoring of class activity.

Providing Support for Learners. Study 700 allows teachers to use their digital learning resources to help manage student activity in a stimulating interactive environment. With Study 700 teachers can:

• Support and monitor students
• Launch applications and exercises including: Listen and Repeat Question and Answer, Simple Translation exercises
• CDROM or Text based learning
• Use guided web tours and focus Internet browsing
• Manage student PCs by locking for attention, shutdown, restart, log off and wake-on-language session files for guided learning material.
