Students are able to learn more and teachers can do more with the students. Study 1200 helps teachers to manage language classes more effectively, and students’ results have improved by 30 %, for example, individual results may have improved by an entire grade.

The students genuinely enjoy their time in the language lab and can easily articulate its benefits for their learning. They talk about an increased confidence and enjoyment when it comes to speaking French and German. The various functions of the system are easy for both teachers and students to use and aid both peer and self-assessment and enable the teacher to easily differentiate and monitor student progress. We particularly like the instant messaging and voting functions. Also the ability to ‘listen in’ to a range of students is invaluable.
The possibilities really do seem endless! Teachers feel completely in control of the whole group without even moving from the front of the room!

The language lab has revolutionized the way we teach and students learn a language within just a term of using it. This piece of software can be as simple or as elaborate as the teacher chooses and, that is, in my opinion, one of the great benefits of this solution.

“We talked to our IT support team too, and in the end we went for the Study 1200 due to its versatility, flexibility, reliability, intuitive design and various upgrade options - for example the Academy has recently added various pronunciation testing voice packs.”

“Our Sanako system automatically sets my class up in seconds, making it so easy for me to monitor the students’ performance, and interact with them to guide improvement. The whole MFL Department absolutely loves it!”

The Sanako 1200 has become an integral part of our World Language program. Through the interactive digital tools and activities available, our students have become active and engaged 21st Century language learners. They can practice their language skills in a nonthreatening and technologically comfortable environment. They can observe, make predictions, and solve problems in real-time using authentic material. They can receive instantaneous feedback about their communication skills. The students love it because it is fun. The teachers love it because instruction can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the learner. The Sanako 1200 has helped reshape how World Languages are taught in our school.

No other digital environment provides students with the just-in-time learning opportunities afforded by a language lab in which they may perform both formative and summative assessment measures.
