An exclusive feature is an option to listen to or view the recorded lesson and the students’ voice separately. The teacher can stop the action at a selected student’s position for administering instructions or making corrections. This feature enhances the teacher’s personalized attention of the individual students. The teacher can give instructions to all the students simultaneously by interrupting the class. |

| Recorder / Digitizer |
This will convert the original passages provided and stored in tapes or in other recording devises, into digital format. Alternately the teacher can also use the ETNL Language Lab for recording the teacher’s own material or any other passages or lessons, the teacher chooses. |
A major stumbling block in the process of learning a spoken language is inhibition or fear of being ridiculed by others. By isolating a student with head phones and mike, and if feasible, a cubicle, the fear factor is removed. |
