MULTILINGUAL eTWINNING

What languages are you learning in eTwinning?

What languages are you using in eTwinning? How do your pupils learn languages on the platform? Learn about how teachers see their relationship with languages in eTwinning.

      eTwinning is very much a multinational and multilingual initiative: having the portal in 24 languages is already a good indication of the importance we give to multilingualism. However, some might say that the lingua franca of eTwinning is nevertheless English, and unless you master this language you may not be able to contribute actively to the variety of opportunities offered by eTwinning.

      In order to check the truth of these assumptions, we recently asked eTwinners some questions about the languages they use and learn. The poll ran on the eTwinning Desktop for a couple of weeks, and we received more than 1,600 answers from teachers involved in projects.

LOOP LABS

      Loop Labs is a free service from Club Create for creating your own music mixes using existing music loops and your own recordings. 

      To get started using Loop Labs select from one of nine sound loop libraries. Within each library is a selection of base instrumental sounds. Browse through your chosen library until you find a sound you like. When you've found a sound you like click the "+" icon to add it to your mix. You can continue to add sounds until you have enough for your project.

      To have a sound played in your track just click on its timeline to hear it. Wherever you click on its timeline that sound will be played. You can also add a voice recording to your track or import sounds from your computer by clicking on the "record" button. 

      Your finished project can be saved to your online Loop Labs account or downloaded as an MP3 file.

                           1.- Placement
