Many thanks to David Binns of Sanako for offering a free 3-month trial to ALL members attending this webinar (and a 1 month trial to non-ALL members).
Dr Rachel Hawkes and Helen Myers were very happy to share their experiences in using this platform which makes recording, saving and retrieving speech so easy – a valuable tool at any time, but especially at a time when speaking ‘live’ is problematic.
ALL London would be very happy to host future webinars so that users can share successes and help each other. Watch this space!

We use this to practice conversation at GCSE over a wide range of themes Dr Thomas Ennis, Senior French Teacher, St, Benedict’s School – When the lockdown began in March we immediately logged onto Sanako Connect On-Line Learning Platform so that our pupils were able to seamlessly continue with their language lessons. They have continued with whole class activities, since the teacher can address the entire group, but also with their individual recordings. Feedback has been easy to provide and the self-correcting vocabulary tests have been especially appreciated. |

00:57:23 Prim H: Rachel’s work on phonics is phenomenal. I have been using her approach for many years, with great results.
00:58:19 David Binns: The teacher can decide whether or not to listen/delete and re-record for each lesson
00:58:39 Helen Myers: Dawn: yes! They can re-start – but if you want it to be a ‘test’ situation you can disallow
00:59:23 Steven Fawkes: lovely accent
01:00:35 Prim H: This looks so good – as well as user friendly – have we gotother Sanako users here tonight?

01:10:10 Rachel Hawkes: idiot
01:10:15 Rachel Hawkes: Is now sorted

01:20:11 Jill Snook: I love the idea of recordred feedback as so good for precision feedback 🙂 I have used written before but will now use the oral feedback – Thanks Helen – That`s my next experiment – I know students love hearing a teacher`s voice
01:21:05 Hmyers: Love the specific feedback, and being able to record it – more personal and much quicker
01:21:13 Karine Longman: I really like that you can either add verbal or written feedback in the middle of their recording!
