Classroom Example

WeChat in oral English class and foreign languge class

Students subscribe to teachers’ official accounts to receive instructions of how to practice pronunciation. Teachers use WeChat to send video clips to demonstrate how to pronounce, and it’s easy for students to watch it for many times. Sometimes teachers publish audio materials to students, testing their listening proficiency before designing new lessons. By sending answers and receiving comments immediately on WeChat, students have greater motivation to practice.

 

WeChat used in Flash Class

An innovative new service called Flash Class which allows teachers to quickly make mobile mini lessons and share them with students through WeChat. Online learning platforms such as Udemy have become huge globally, with many instructors able to make decent returns for sharing their expertise. Flash Class takes this broad concept and tailors it to mobile. Through Flash Class, students can study English easily via WeChat on the subway or in a 10 minute break at work.
