One of the resources teachers can find hear is SOUNDCLOUD.COM

- Teachers now do not have to worry about taking oral lessons to students speacially when they are shy or they do not like to performance in front of other classmates. That usually happens with teenagers, but in general with all students.

- Soundcloud was created to record our voice, songs, conversations, etc, and share with anybody around the world. After, we have recorded them we can upload it to this web page and everybody will be able to listen to it. It is useful for professors because they can ask their students to record themselves in the comfort of their houses without being afraid of others criticisms and then the teacher can grade them not just on pronunciation but also on vocabulary or the use of grammar, teachers and students can listen to it as many times as they want. So, it makes teachers´ work easier and students can learn from their mistakes.

 Now it is time to give a fast tutorial about soundcloud

- First, you have to create an account, fill in the blank with your e-mail address, your password and agree on the terms of use. Also to choose a username and set your profile.

After you have set your profile, you have to confirm you account by going to your e-mail address and clicking in a link they send you. You are ready to share sounds or recordings. You have to click on rec if you want to record something in soundcloud and if you have recorded in your computer you will click on upload and that recording from your computer to soundcloud.

Maybe you are asking yourself how the teacher or classmates are going to find the file you just have recorded. Well it is simple, you have to open the file and the url of that file (the one that is in blue above) is the one that you are going to send them by mail or give them to put in the url bar of their computer so they will be able to listen to it and also comment on that by clicking where seconds and minutes counter is.

THAT´S IT, AS EASY AS THAT........

Try this tool and you will not regret it.............. GOOD LUCK........

I hope this web page was useful for you both teachers and students
