Language Lab Assessment

Overview

When it comes to assessing children, spoken English is often given only 10-16% of the criteria. Unfortunately, this has resulted in students not performing well in speaking the language. In the digital age, we strive to make our efforts minimal and efficient, and language labs are one such technology that can help students improve their English. Although the process may take time to show results, it is still one of the most sought-after methods and is still seen in many institutions today.

Older method

However, the importance of English listening and speaking is often given much less importance and the efforts are minimal. As a result, the only way left to help them improve their English (or make them think so) is for those in charge to come up with mandatory guidelines to speak English in the compound or on campus. This will ensure that students are given the opportunity to practice their English and hone their speaking skills.

Minimal importance in institutes - Spoken English

On average, the institutes that actively assess students separately for spoken English and grade them, are around 10 - 20 all over India. Even though the numbers are rising globally, the margin by which the students are graded on the basis of Spoken English is lower than what is required. This is generally because of the curriculum and time given for each subject. You might be aware of how the teachers were managing the little time that they have in giving the best to their students. Spoken English is a vast topic. It holds various layers, even for advanced spoken English professionals. Given this trait, the teachers and students find it difficult to comply with the little time they have left to improve their skills.

Language Lab

Even though we have advanced technology at hand, there are a few limits when you try to learn it with facetime. In such circumstances, English Language Lab comes into play. This is basically a platform where teachers and students can actively participate in spoken English classes, listen to various transcripts to improve their pronunciation, and can attend lots of assessments where they are assessed based on the level at which they speak individually, rather than being graded on a general basis.

Assessment criterion

The assessment will be customized as per each institution, by focusing on certain aspects of the language. This makes it easy for the institution to focus on improving the students' proficiency making them elite and corporate individuals when they graduate. The teachers or instructors analyze how each student is performing based on their previous tests taken. The instructor then gives them more assessments to challenge their skills, which in turn benefits the students as they generate an urge to complete each challenge through interactive group assignments rather than spending time alone practicing in front of mirrors.

The authenticity of Language Lab

There are lots of benefits of a language lab. Some are as follows.

1.Discreet learning: The classes can be easily understood with step-by-step learning along with corresponding instructions.

2.Resourceful and voluntary: The lab has plenty of resources to learn, from pre-KG to even competitive exams like IELTS, TOEFL, etc. It also has the function of adaptability by voluntary customization based on each student's capabilities and performance.

3.Multiple Idea: The learning promotes ideas generated by each and every student.

4.Group Projects and Activities: The learning is made simple with group conferences, activities, projects, and such functions. Doubts can be cleared through group conferences and collective learning.

5.Self-evaluation: Students/learners can assess themselves with other performers or even themselves, by comparing their performance and thus improving the areas where they fall short.

6.Interactive: Learning is made easy with group learning and activities along with the instructor.

7.Confidence: The method allows the learners to feel more confident by eliminating their fears and thus developing a better understanding of themselves and displaying the qualities of a professional and corporate individual.

The efficacy of the English Language Lab is immense, and it only gets better with every use.

The assessments are made simple with easy transitions, and quality content through a variety of choices.
