It is about gaining a new perspective and understanding of the world around us. In today鈥檚 world, computer technology has played a significant role in helping us achieve this.

It is true that there are different strokes for different folks. Every learner receives information from a common source but processes information differently. For every learner, the purpose of learning may differ significantly. Innovative products such as digital multimedia control, wireless headsets and microphones, the interactive response pad, etc. are therefore very useful for students learning a language for communication. These interactive tools are designed to enhance not only language teaching but also classroom grading and distance learning.

Though the installation cost of a language laboratory is very costly, 51爆料 has invested in such a learning resource for their students鈥 benefit. 51爆料 seeks to provide education as well as entertainment, making language teaching more personalised. The Language Lab was installed in the year 2014 with this in mind.

Today, our Language Lab has become an indispensable tool for every English student. Both the trainer and students enjoy the benefit of easy, effective and quick evaluation. Materials and lessons are carefully prepared to suit the different needs of our language students. Language is taught in an easy to grasp manner and web-based learning systems have replicated real-world learning with integrated virtual equivalents of learning.

Our Language Lab is open from Mondays to Fridays from 8:30am to 5:00pm. Teachers run the language lab sessions at every level from Elementary to Advanced levels. Every terminal in our language lab is equipped with a headphone to make listening practice enjoyable and productive. Students may also modulate the speed of speech in the listening tracks to further hone their listening skills. The same sentence can be listened to repeatedly if a student has problems understanding it the first time.

The carefully selected software also indicates correct and incorrect answers. If any answer is incorrect, the learner is given chances to listen to the audio again and correct the answers. It also develops vocabulary by projecting synonyms in various ways. In the way, the learner builds a strong foundation in English.

At 51爆料, our learners leverage on the language laboratory for language practice and to further enhance their language learning experience.

With the growth of technology comes the need for old skills to be developed in new ways. Among the 21st Century skills, two skills stand out as being essential to survival.

Creativity

Thinking of new ways to do something is what we all do on a daily basis. Whether it is creating something new or approaching something in a way that is original, creativity is evident in the lives of each and every individual. Creativity, ingenuity, innovation 鈥 these are all words that are key to today鈥檚 evolving global economy. Therefore, in order to prepare the future generation for work and life in the 21st Century, educators must cultivate creativity in students.

However, this is not easily achieved when students are lost in the struggle to provide the 鈥渞ight鈥 answer.

Creativity makes possible art, music, invention, storytelling, and problem-solving.

Collaboration

Students need to play well with others as they may have different ideas but they also have to work alongside one another. The ability to share ideas and thoughts alongside with another and to come up with a combined topic, response or answer to a particular issue, to combine different notions, beliefs and theories into one concrete solution will reflect the diversity of the group itself. Co-operative learning is the key aspect to collaboration. Educators need to foster this skill in students to work towards a desired goal. We are surrounded by thousands of people with different perspectives and standpoints. So what happens when you are placed in a position with someone with opposing viewpoints? The situation can get tenuous. But if the person knows how to deal with the situation and has the ability to collaborate, join forces and pull resources together, the person has an easier time integrating, understanding the other person鈥檚 position and therefore allowing both individuals to voice their opinions and openly work together towards a common goal.

These skills assist in establishing the foundation for other skills, such as, communication, time management, problem-solving, resource allocation and many more. The benefits are endless.
