How can you benefit from Study 1200:
What can you do with Study 1200:
Listening Comprehension In this activity, you can transfer an audio track to students. Students then access their digital recorders, so that they can work with the source material individually and at their own pace to better comprehend what was said. You may select the students to answer questions to show how well they understood what they heard. Discussion Activities You can unobtrusively listen to student conversations, allowing your students to feel free to express themselves using their own words, rather than rehearsed textbook responses. In addition to pair and group discussions Study 1200 has a round table discussion that allows you to set up small student groups with a designated chairman, who leads the discussion. You can set up a meeting environment to help advanced language learners strengthen their oral presentation skills. Model Imitation Students listen to and repeat a model track to practice the stress, rhythm and intonation of a foreign language, while their voices are recorded. The recorded model and student audio tracks enable easy assessment and correcting areas that need improvement.
Reading Practice
Reading aloud is a useful way of practicing intonation, rhythm and pronunciation, and is ideal for students’ individual practice. Students read a text which is recorded on the student track, and then practice to improve their proficiency. Everyone in class can read at the same time and at their own pace which saves time compared to the “traditional” reading practice methods, and even the shy students are not afraid to participate.
Voice Insert
In the Voice Insert mode, gaps can be inserted automatically into source material, which means that you do not have to leave silent parts for the answers in the recordings – any audio file can be used. This unique feature allows you to create exercises during playback, and to give oral feedback on student recordings after a test.
Vocabulary tests
Study 1200 allows you to create quick vocabulary tests easily. You only need to have a list of vocabulary items ready, and Study 1200 will handle the rest.
Subtitling
Subtitles work as a link between spoken word and written text creating possibilities for different speech-to-text and text-to-speech translation exercises. With the ability to subtitle files, students will gain additional valuable language practice working with media files.
Individualize learning
Study 1200 has up to six sessions. You can initiate different activities for the students and use different methods for each session to individualize learning. More advanced students can be put in a self-study session while you focus on to the students who require more support. In the Self-Access mode each student works independently of all the other students.
Study 1200 gives you the control over student PCs, which allows for guidance and support of the students. You can black out the student screens and/or lock the cursors and keyboards to draw their attention. A blocking feature allows you to block the use of Internet or other applications to help students focus on a given task. Monitor Students Monitoring students allows teachers to listen to selected students’ work and view their screens. Screen monitoring allows the teacher to view the screen activity of multiple student workstations in real time seeing how assignments progress. Student screens can all be viewed simultaneously as thumbnails. Screen Transfer with Audio and Marker Tool Study 1200 allows you to share the contents of the teacher screen and talk to the students at the same time, e.g. show a video from the internet. The screen image and audio can be transferred to a single student or the entire class.
