Other FAQs
1. Why 450 CHAPTERS?
It is because English has many areas of knowledge and skills not to mention strategies and grammar exceptions. Languagelab has mapped the entire range of English competencies from kindergarten to Cambridge 'A' Level including, but not limited to, reading and communication skills and strategies and speed reading, to phonemic awareness, phonetics and creative writing to make it easy for learner of any age.
2. How does Languagelab's SYSTEM work?
Students watch an animated video to learn key ideas in one area of knowledge or skill such as speed reading with teacher's guidance. Next, they are questioned in class, trained with worksheets and then tested using Languagelab app to test their new knowledge. Finally, teachers issue targeted worksheets to correct language weaknesses.
3. What's Languagelab's system BUILT with?
It is built with 3 parts - 450 chapters, Languagelab app & published textbooks. The chapters are presented in rich, hi-definition, multimedia content to learners of all ages, followed by rapid-fire tests. Supported by the app, students can relearn and revise anytime. Finally, textbooks provide targeted worksheets for each learner; to correct weaknesses, simply do more practice papers from those chapters.
4. Why can't reading ALONE help to improve English?
Reading is a passive exercise. We can learn some grammar and vocabulary in this way but since English has a whole range of language skills and strategies, we need to master these too. It's like learning most skill-based knowledge; we need BOTH theory (vocabulary and grammar) and practical skills (literacy skills and strategies).
5. What's the DIFFERENCE between Languagelab and OTHER learning systems?
Languagelab has systemised and standardised English for every key competency. Each is animated with moving visuals and sounds as most learners are primarily visual and auditory learners. They are then gamified to make them interesting for ALL ages. Learners, both young and old, prefer gamified quizzes as a quick test of ability. Other systems are either passive (animations or learning videos) or gamified (e-learning) with English grammar and vocabulary; we increase the depth (400 topics) and breadth (animations, gamification and quizzes) for learning.
6. How do I START?
Register your child for a quick, 10-min online assessment to get a benchmark score, based on 14,000 students, to highlight language strengths and weaknesses. With this, your child can be streamed to the most suitable class.
7. Do I need EXTRA RESOURCES for my child?
There is no need to. All Languagelab students get access to the full suite of our resources - videos, animations, textbooks, worksheets, past year papers and online quizzes - as part of the monthly fee.
