SpeakApps at EuroCall

The SpeakApps team have returned to work after a very productive visit to Groningen, the Netherlands, where we attended and participated in the Eurocall 2014 conference. The theme of Eurocall 2014 was “CALL Design: Principles and Practice”. The SpeakApps partners delivered a workshop to a large number of Eurocall participants who hailed from a wide variety of linguistic backgrounds. During the workshop participants had the opportunity to work with the SpeakApps tools, platform and open educational resource. The workshop explored how the SpeakApps tools can be used to enhance opportunities for oral production and interaction. If you would like to learn more about the workshop, you can view the presentation in Slideshare. If you would like to test the tools make your way to the demo classroom here. SpeakApps partners delivered presentations and papers related to our research and engagement in the project. Thank you to the Eurocall team and to the local organisers for such a warm welcome and for organising a provocative and engaging conference. Dank u allen!

SpeakApps in EuroCall

Tá foireann SpeakApps tagtha ar ais tar éis tréimhse a chaitheamh in Groningen na hÍsiltíre áit a raibh muid ag freastal ar an gcomhdháil Eurocall 2014. Ba é “CALL Design: Principles and Practice” téama na comhdhála agus bhí roinnt cur i láthair ó fhoireann SpeakApps. Reáchtálamar ceardlann SpeakApps agus d’fhreastail rannpháirtithe ó réimse leathan cúlraí teanga uirthi. Bhí deis ag na rannpháirtithe taithí a fháil ar an ardán agus leis na uirlisí éagsúla. D’fhoghlaim na rannpháirtithe faoin dóigh a gcuidíonn uirlisí SpeakApps le aschur labhartha agus idirghníomhú labhartha.  Má tá fonn ort níos mó a fhoghlaim faoin gceardlann tá na sleamhnáin ar fáil ar Slideshare nó má tá spéis agat na huirlisí a úsáid téigh go dtí an seomra ranga samplach anseo. Gabhaimid ár mbuíochas le foireann Eurocall agus leis an bhfoireann áitiúil as an bhfáilte chroíúil a cuireadh romhainn agus as an-ócáid a eagrú. Dank u allen!
