The lab was built on a simple idea. Students need to hear and speak the language constantly, and a teacher needs a way to listen in. That idea remains correct; we simply no longer need a dedicated room, a six-figure budget, or a sign-up sheet to act on it.

Annual testing provides important accountability data for multilingual programs. But, the results arrive months later, then the summer passes, and the student standing in front of you has changed. Old data isn't actionable data. Benchmarking at the beginning of the year and again in the winter gives you current information on students' skills and where they could benefit from more support.

Read more about the benefits of benchmarking, and how to make it work for you, in our latest blog. 🔗 https://t.co/OO9UVPocJI

Imagine if every student in your class could do an interpersonal speaking task at the same time. With video. On any device. And you can drop in anonymously.

We've been cooking. Reveal drops Monday 8/3. 🔔

POV: It's day 3 of speaking assessments.

The same kid is still on deck. You've drunk 4 coffees. Spring break feels like a myth.
There has to be a better way.

(Spoiler: there is. 👀)

A new button? Yes. And it does exactly what you’ve been asking for.

Hit "Shuffle", and boom—student pairings get rearranged instantly in your synchronous interpersonal assessments.
Marked a few kids absent? Hit it again. Poof. No more lonely one-person rooms.

And since we’re already on a roll… big upgrades to absence-marking are coming soon. Stay tuned—your future self will thank us.#languagelearning #extemporeapp
