The program uses interactive audio and video technology to help students learn second languages. Students at UCC are using it for their lessons in French and Spanish. Among other things, the program allows teachers to record lesson plans on the system. Vilaranda said this means students can gain a better understanding by playing back the lessons as many times as they wish without holding up the rest of the class. Students can also record their voices and listen back to compare their pronunciation with their teacher’s examples as well as with samples from their peers. The Internet-based system also means that students can access XpressLab from home.
