Soundbooth Plus is a software solution which transforms any ICT Suite into a language lab, all you need is the Soundbooth
Plus teacher and student component and headsets with a microphone, and it can be installed and operational within a day.
It uses technology that modern students use on a daily basis and find stimulating and motivational.
The Soundbooth Plus Virtual keyboard can be used without the need to install the target language on the students PC. The virtual keyboard gives students access to letters and accents without having to remember complicated keyboard shortcuts. To make it even simpler students are able to use their physical keyboard in conjunction with the virtual keyboard. Languages available: French, German, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Pinyin and Cymraeg. It is a relatively simple procedure to add additional languages so please let us know if you have any specific requirements via [email protected]
Now available in the latest Soundbooth product, Soundbooth Plus Connect is an assement module that allows the teacher to track students progress through lessons and leave comments for them. We believe this new feature will help teachers track their students ongoing progress through the Soundbooth modules and equally will offer a new level of guidance to the students themselves
Soundbooth Plus allows the school to give every student Soundbooth for use at home; this can be a copy on CD or a USB Stick or, alternatively, via the schools Virtual Learning Environment. Even if the school has only purchased a single lab of Soundbooth Plus every language student in the school can benefit as teachers can create lessons using any web editor and students can access the lessons at home.
Language teaching within a classroom setting often requires teachers to spend lots of time with individual students for the purposes of assessment. Soundbooth Plus frees up the teacher’s time for teaching as it allows them to test and monitor students simultaneously. As the students’ work is saved individually the teacher can then mark it at a time of their own choosing.
Once students are logged in they are able to access any lesson created by the teacher. A lesson can have up to 36 items. Lesson items can include text, audio, images and graphics, tables for layout, text boxes, selection buttons, check boxes and drop-down boxes. Items containing text, graphics and audio recordings are viewed by students who can record themselves and can also enter text or make selections. All work is saved as either web pages or mp3 files.
