Wireless Language Lab HCL feel proud to introduce to you a wireless based language lab for our esteem client – (client name). With our experience in providing different language lab solution to different clients at different regions we have come across Years of experience in providing different solution to different institute in the field of language lab setting we have faced different problems:•
Setting of up Computer Network o Cost of the network also become too high for many clients o Different types of hardware required like students monitor, teacher monitors, power cables, headphone cables, etc
•
Setting up of cables to language lab o Different cables are required to send different format of audio/video files along with standard network cables
•
Different version of software language labs o Problem with different operating software o Slow exchange of different audio-video files on single cables
•
Limitation of students o Any increase the students increase the burden of hardware
•
Limitation of class lessons o Very limited source of lesson available in the market
The Wireless based solution not only provide a unique opportunity for the setting up of a language lab but also give a unique experience for the students and teacher with a large collection of class lesson to explore different ways to improve their language skills. Wireless language is not language specific any language can be taught with the 8
same installation only requirement will be lesson contents which is readily available in the market like audio-video or printed materials which can be easily incorporated with the same. Analysis of the prevailing practices in the field: While the components of an efficient, cost effective and user-friendly solution were designed, the limitations of all other system models were noted as follows: Limitations of the other prevailing systems o Very expensive. o Teacher’s material is not provided. o No interactive sessions. o Sets an undesirable monotony. o The students listen but don’t repeat as required. o The teachers need to have computer knowledge apart from command in English. o Content is not from established publishers. o Adding multi media with this is clumsy. o In most institutions it is just kept as a showpiece. o Obsolete technology. o Bulky cables. None of the prevailing methods integrated a world class, authentic, user friendly, cost effective technology and content suitable for a mass learning program. The Challenge
9
To implement English language learning for a large group of learners from vernacular medium, the challenge is to give a time bound, highly result oriented language and soft skills learning experiences.
10
For a leaner the status of weakness and strength can be listed as follows. Weaknesses Fear of failure Non-English background Lack of opportunity to practice English Lack
of
confidence
Strengths Eager to learn Strong theoretical Knowledge Strong in functional skills
in
‘pronunciation’. The Teachers Perspective With a keen study on the psychology of the teacher, the following facts are noticed. o Technology must be absolutely user friendly. o There is a good demand for ‘quality teacher resource’ to implement ELT and soft skills enhancement programs. o Teachers ‘lack business exposure’ and are not comfortable implementing ‘Business English’ soft skills. o The teacher needs a content independent technology. o The teacher must find it easy to seamlessly integrate native speaker with their interaction. o The teacher should be able to use any content in CASSETTES /VCD /DVD/ BOOKS etc while they could freely interact to interpret. Tasks to be achieved in the new Technology and Methodology o To derive a Lesson plan implementing the state of the art, hassles free, easy to adapt, technology, integrated with world class methodologies. 11
o Helping the learner and the tutor to conduct learning activities which would maintain their enthusiasm till they reach their goal is very important. o The leaner must be motivated to get involved in Extended Learning Activities. o To implement all the above to a large multilevel mixed class room at an Affordable Cost. HCL’s is happy to introduce the Skillphones English Learning Station integrated with Comprehensive Skillphones Resource Library, exclusively designed for schools, colleges and enables institutions with world-class methodology to inspire Campus English Learning and to implement soft skills seamlessly.
