Information for Teachers
Language Tribe is a nice and easy to use platform: appealing and user-friendly.
It is designed to free you from the traditional teaching and offers a complete learning experience.
The course benefits both teachers and students in a unique way. Students should be able to progress at their own pace: students that learn a topic quickly may continue on to the next topic without waiting for the other students; those who need more time may move at their own pace and master a topic before continuing. The will achieve not only a language, but also a cultural competence and of course will have fun.
Language Tribe is designed to improve the four skills of language learning: there are audios and video lessons for the listening ability; video lessons for the speaking ability; reading comprehensions, dialogues, stories for the reading ability; FIB tests and sharing the screen to show written production to the teacher for the writing ability.
Teachers can benefit from the thousands of examples and exercises proposed on the site, with new continuous updates, which allows to spare a lot of time. The lessons are customizable: you can choose to deepen or skip a certain topic by adding or eliminating elements from the lesson. You have access to an administrator panel which allows you to modify chapters, lessons, or even single words and sentences, in order to personalize your course the most. Through this panel you can also check the progress of every student through reports, statistics and automatic grades, and verify the time actively spent on platform.
It will be easy for you to involve your students thanks to the many games and to the opportunity for them to connect with each other in their class.
The course consists of 31 chapters, each of which is composed of different lessons, covering over 200 topics. Each chapter has its own theme and each lesson has its own grammar topic. Everything in the lesson (including texts, games, tests etc.) is grammar- and theme- related.
An English translation can be (in)activated anytime for any text of the course (except Games and Proficiency) through a simple click.
You can find useful information on how to use them on the “How the lessons work” page.
