## 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.

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.
