Getting a student to Speak and Listen is key to their achieving fluency in a language.

The majority of students already have a device that is specifically engineered and optimised for speaking and listening – a mobile phone.

Learnosity are an exciting market leading solutions provider that has come up with a really clever way of harnessing the power of the phone that is already in the students pocket to significantly improve their language skills.

Learnosity have been working closely with the Irish government and educational groups including The Le@rning Federation to create ground breaking solutions specifically for language learning. The results have been really exciting as students are incredibly responsive to learning languages in this way.

Mark Lynch will present the results of a number of research projects based on this innovative and flexible technology which gives teachers the ability to effectively and efficiently teach languages.

The session will highlight how the barriers of distance and time can be overcome through the use of simple tools - phones and the Internet.
