We have included the most commonly used language teaching activities as shortcuts in Connect. The shortcuts guide you through the setup process and launches the activity for all of the students.
If the activity includes a recorded part, you can control it for all the students at the same time. Simply click on the recorder and all of the students will be recorded. You can also play back the individual recordings by clicking on play.
You can find the live activities inside your sessions. In the session’s teacher interface, go to the Students tab and then click on Launch Activity.
Pair/Group Discussion – Divide the students in pairs/groups and record the group discussions.
Speaking Practice – Play back audio/video files for your students and record your students, or have the students listen to your voice and repeat after you.
Listening – Play back an audio file for your students.
Describe what you see – an image description task. Your students will be shown an image and you can record them describing what they see.
Custom exercise – You can launch any exercise you’ve created to all the students at once. You will also choose when to end the exercises and collect back the student submissions.
