1:1. Peer-to-Peer. Immersion.
How it's done?
Your ESOL students will have 1-on-1 conversations in English with the world language students once a week. They will type what the learner says, go over the transcript and correct the mistakes. The second time a week your ESOL students will reciprocate and teach their native language to the students in world language classes.
The teachers from each classroom would still be able to coordinate the content of the lessons to focus on, i.e. grammar, pronunciation, reading, oral expression, etc.
Tracking each student's progress
Teachers can review each student's transcripts complete with the corrections made by the tutor. The platform then generates personalized homework for the student based on these corrections. We also provide graphs that measure performance on a lesson-by-lesson basis. These tools help teachers gain a deeper understanding of what their students retained and need to improve upon.
What the Teachers Are Saying
Ryan Raycraft - Head of World Language Department
With OCTB, my students are talking in Spanish during 50 minutes straight, which is otherwise impossible.
Kristi Liljenquist - Head of World Language Department
The way the students can relate to each other as peers is absolutely lighting the kids on fire. It's more than anything I can give them.
Carmen Wirtz - Head of World Language Department
Now my students have a reference of what life outside of their country looks like, and that is lifelong learning.
