WEEK-8 RFLECTIONS


“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation”. ~ John F. Kennedy


Talking about AVNILL, I can say that it is an excellent platform for speech-based learning activities,  with it students will have a great benefit because they can interact, record their voices this will help students to  check their mistakes in pronunciation.

We have templates for: Basics that helps to create all kind of lessons; the audio template that adds high quality to the lessons because it is used for both listening comprehension and listen and repeat tasks.

Voiceboard that adds spoken language to discussions, audio journals, pronunciation exercises, and other forms of oral language practice.

Text-based forums, VB allows teachers or students to easily post or respond to an oral/aural assignment.

This tools will help students to be more confident in their learning process because as I wrote before they can interact and check their mistakes.

  1. Hi Sylvia,

    I am glad to see that we are on the same page about the potential ANVILL has for language learners. I believe TCast and Voiceboards features could give shy students who lack self-confidence in class a chance to speak out online. I also agree with you that ANVILL could help students become more self-aware of their learning pace.

    Thanks for your insights,

    Abdullah
