eLanguages
DCSF* eLanguages is an online
collaborative platform enabling teachers to work quickly
and effectively with an international partner - sharing ideas and
managing projects.
If you don't have a partner school you can find one on
the site or we can source one for you. If you already have a
partner school or schools you can set up your own eLanguages
project space to share documents and planning, exchange classwork,
run a message board and post photos. All the schools involved can
participate.
No special ICT skills are required, and the British Council’s
dedicated team is on hand to offer help and advice every step of
the way.
Features
You have a dedicated 'hello' area for you to introduce yourself,
your class, your school, your town and your country.
The platform is available in 21 languages - English,
French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Polish,
Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean,
Punjabi, Urdu, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi
and Bulgarian.
eLanguages gives you up to 100 MB storage space for each
project and supports a wide range of resources including movies,
sound files, photos, galleries, web links, polls, forums, documents
and presentations - which can be created or sourced by you or your
students. It's explained as you go along how to upload pieces of
work, organise and display them, and build up your project into
something everybody involved can feel proud of.
* eLanguages is funded and supported by the Department for
Children, Schools and Families in the UK and is free to all
schools worldwide.
