There are so many uses for this in education. One as a teacher I could use it to comment on student's digital work. I can talk while I'm looking at it and then email them the link so they can hear my comments. In class I could use it as exit tickets. Students could summarize what they learned about XYZ and then send me that message. I could also use it with younger students for fluency practice. They could read into the phone and then we could track their progress over time. In the foreign language class students could have mock conversations in their foreign language and save them to monitor progress overtime. Special Ed teachers could read test questions into the phone and then save them as a file for the students to listen to. And finally, students could leave each other feedback on a Wiki.

Hi this is Randall. One of the things that I always suggest the students is to take classes when you're ready for them the other day one student decided to sign up for language class and to be honest the classes and much harder than the student can handle but it's still really wants to take the class(?) is student(?) thinks(?) that he'll be able to learn from that they keep in mind when you're in language class that it's much more difficult than you can handle in not only in packs your Own Learning but it impacts the other students that are in the class and also we can make it more difficult for the teacher to teach you. So all like challenges be sure that you sign up for classes that are with in your with stick reach you. Hot(?) a much better experience so we'll(?) the other students in the class and so with the teacher. Thanks.

Tags: casual experience, purposes for studying,
Hi this is Randall. I find, generally speaking, two types of people that come in to my language classes: those that are on vacation and those that are students. In other words many people come to the United States and perhaps I shouldn't say "many", but some come to United States and are here on vacation. Uh, they come with the idea or general idea, perhaps studying in some cases . . . their tuition and monies are paid by their family or by different government agencies and also they're here on vacation. First time they've been away from home, often pass to the class thinking it's a casual experience, often fail and then often point the finger at someone for the problems especially when they loose their (student) visa. Those that are students have cleared goals and work from the beginning to accomplish the things that they came here to do. Which one are you?

Tags: language classroom, academic ability, language training
One of the most difficult things for students to realize is that is important to Have reasonable expectations on what they can accomplish on the language classroom. In other words I being only 5ft 3ins tall not very tall at all have really know whole of dunking the basketball at the regulation height. However if I lower the basketball just a little bit well a lot at some point I might be able to train myself to be able to dunk the ball in the same way. Many students who come to the university to the United States think that within a very short time just a year having no language training will be able to get into the University. Keep in mind that going from zero to a high level academic ability to get into the University will take time. So plan accordingly.

Session Two Welcome Message

Tags: present perfect progressive tense, perfect progressive tense, language class
Hi, this is Randall. I like to share with you three tips that can help you succeed. I think in the language class at least these tips have helped many of my students. First of all, do more than expected. In other words, if the teacher asks you to learn five words, well try to learn 10. Don't do just what is expected. Do more. Number two: review and recycle the old grammar that you've learned or language skills by reusing the language in all of your classes. I think that could help you solidify in your mind what you need to know. Finally, look ahead. In other words, if your teacher is studying, let's say, the present perfect sense, look ahead to the present perfect progressive tense at least to give you an idea as what is coming up. By doing the skills, I think you can accelerate your learning in the classroom and out of the class.

Tags: language class, language teacher, nicknames
Hi this is Randall. As a language teacher I often have many students in a language class room and one of the surprising things is that So few students remember other names of students in the same class. But learning a name I think identifies who you are and I think most people like to be called by their names. So my advice to students is is as you're meeting new people take the time to ask their name. Find out what it means. Perhaps it has a particular meeting in their culture. Also find out how it is spelled and find out if they like to go by nicknames. Just saying student or Hey you Really doesn't personalize the experience of meeting new people. So take the time. Find out what people like to be called and use their names as much as possible. It's a great way to make new friends.
