Student Feedback is Priceless

    How often do you seek your students’ feedback: each semester, weekly, after each class?   In the same vein of thought, when I blogged about the four key factors affecting the business of ELT elearning, one of my main points addressed “collaboration”, and how “materials improvement can now occur in collaboration with teachers and learners which is revolutionary for small companies like Edulang”. Here’s a perfect example:  this past month I’ve been collaborating with a group of software engineering students at SUPINFO, a well-known school in France. Yohan, one of the group leaders, and a number of his (…)

No 404 here (though hilarious 404 pictures included)

  When a site doesn’t work on the web, you often see a bland 404 error page like this:     …though some sites have a bit of style and have fun with “errors”     And this one most of you may have seen before.  Can ya guess it?   (You can find forty more great 404s here, and sixty more here)   I’ve yet to hear of a Edulang user report a 404, which is certainly something we can be proud of!  Recently we even did a presentation on Test Simulator TOEIC® and TOEFL® where we revealed very (…)

Win-Win situation, a Test Simulator Success Story

thumbnail

Today’s post is an interview I did with one of our recent Pay-What-You-Want sponsors from Mexico, Guillermo Rueda.  I always send out emails to our new learners and Guillermo and I very quickly established a good rapport, so I felt like asking him a few questions here for the benefit of all.  And off we go!     So, Guillermo, where are you from and how long have you been studying English? I´m from Mexico and I have taken English lessons for about 5 years discontinuosly. Do you use English very often in your day-to-day life. If so how and when? I dont (…)
