Once we have created the data set, the activity will let the children select a chapter. Then each triplet is displayed. Once all the triplet have been seen, different games will be proposed to let the children remember the triplets. For example, we may display several words in the source or target language and play an audio voice. The children must then click on the right word.

Revision as of 23:24, 12 June 2012

This page supports the development of an activity dedicated to language learning.

The concept is like a flash card in which some pictures are displayed with an associated audio voice and written text. Let's call this a triplet.

A set of triplet is organised in a lesson which are grouped in chapters. In each lesson we will propose about 10 triplets.

Once we have created the data set, the activity will let the children select a chapter. Then each triplet is displayed. Once all the triplet have been seen, different games will be proposed to let the children remember the triplets. For example, we may display several words in the source or target language and play an audio voice. The children must then click on the right word.
