Lingt is a very promising new tool designed for language teaching. It allows teachers to create assignments online into which you can add, images, text, voice recordings and videos, although currently only from YouTube, which could be a problem for some schools.

Once the assignment is ready, it can then be assigned to a class and each pupil can submit their individual responses back to the teacher. Pupils can submit written responses through Lingt and, as long as they have access to a computer microphone, responses can also include voice recordings.

Teachers need to register for a free account to create assignments but pupils don’t need to register at all. Simply share the appropriate link with them and they can submit their responses to you after supplying their name and email address after they have completed the assignment.

The fact that students don’t need to register is a big advantage in my opinion, as it makes this tool very easy to manage and more likely that students will embrace it.

Although I have not yet had the chance to use it with my pupils (we are still on our summer break) I have been experimenting with this application already and I created this assignment earlier today. Feel free to peruse it and even try your hand at Spanish!

I found the assignment editor extremely intuitive and easy to use. Recording voice prompts for your students is made really easy by the simplicity of the speech bubble interface: simply click to record, click again to stop and then again to re-play.

What don’t you have a go to see how easy it is and let me know what you think?
