The Supersite seamlessly integrates comprehensible, authentic and cultural media into the curriculum, providing students with a real-world context for language use. This media deepens student understanding of social and cultural norms, allowing them to explore the rich heritage of the target language.
Learning a new language takes practice. The Supersite offers diverse, program-specific practice activities for language learning. With an intuitive interface, innovative tools, and seamless tech integration, it fosters a safe space, helping instructors reach and engage students in language and culture.
To become effective communicators, students need opportunities to speak in low-stakes environments and interact with one another in the classroom and online. The Supersite provides a safe social place with a variety of activity types to support multiple learning and teaching styles.
Speech recognition technology has revolutionized language learning. It allows students to practice their pronunciation and get instant feedback on how they’re doing. These low stakes activities offer students a safe space to practice and increase their confidence – while giving class time back to the instructor to engage in meaningful communication.
Save class time by assigning interactive grammar tutorials that provide students with engaging explanations of grammar concepts and opportunities to practice in the target language. Students come to class prepared to chat with you and their classmates.
Each month we release carefully curated activities based on online news articles and TV news segments from across the target cultures. We find the articles and news videos and build the activities, instructors can assign or use in class to enhance their curriculum with up-to-date authentic resources to ensure ongoing relevance and engagement.
Your course should be exactly what you want it to be and you should be able to independently make changes anytime throughout the course. Change due dates, add new assignments, even assign different activities to different students, or add a personalized note to any activity, all with a quick click of the mouse.
Instructors are empowered by the ease-of-use, flexibility, and dependability of the Supersite. A setup wizard lets you customize your course settings, copy previous courses to save time, and create your all-in-one gradebook. Choose what content you want to use and how you want to use it.
