| Title | LINGT Editor Helps Teacher Enable Their Students to Speak |
| Body | From http://nclrc.org/teachers_corner/tech_for_teachers/feature.html Tech for Teachers Technology Review: LINGT Editor by Thomas Braslavsky NCLRC/The George Washington University Many teachers have encountered challenges in assigning oral homework. Some have difficulty ensuring that students indeed practice, while others find they have trouble evaluating students’ progress. Having students use tape recorders to record their pronunciations can get bulky and inefficient to grade, and few easy-to-use alternatives exist in aiding the process. Enter MIT graduates Scot Frank, Chris Varenhorst and Justin Cannon, who formed the company Lingt Language in order to create online tools for language teachers and improve the classroom dynamic. Their first project, Lingt Editor, is an online program found on their website (lingtlanguage.com) that tries to make it easier to assign, complete and grade oral homework. Currently in its beta stage, the Editor is free to teachers willing to try it out in their classes. Read the full review at http://nclrc.org/teachers_corner/tech_for_teachers/feature.html .
