Language school website design is more than building a sign-up page and a class timetable. A language is learned through short repetition and instant feedback, and a school that supports this repetition outside the classroom has happier learners. This demo shows an online English and IELTS academy with a personal learner dashboard, vocabulary flashcards, a placement test, sorting practice, scored quizzes and certificates.
Why does a language school need an interactive learning site?
Between two class sessions, a learner forgets the most. Words learned in class disappear if they are not reviewed before the next session. An interactive learning site fills this gap: a few minutes of flashcards a day, one short exercise and a quiz that shows what is still missing.
For the school this also means a product you can sell. A course with online practice is worth more than a course with only classes, and a self-paced IELTS or vocabulary course is a source of income that is not limited by the capacity of your classrooms.
A personal learner dashboard
After login, every learner sees their own page:
- the current level and the progress percentage of every course;
- the score of every quiz with the number of attempts and the time spent;
- the last open lesson, to continue;
- teacher messages and the certificates of completed courses.
For term-based classes this page replaces the paper report card, and the parents of teenage learners can see the progress as well.
Interactive practice made for English
Vocabulary flashcards
The word is on one side of the card, the meaning and an example sentence on the other. The learner first recalls the meaning, then flips the card. This is the active review that moves a word into long-term memory.
Online placement test
A few short questions and a suggestion of the right part of the course. Without using any teacher time, the school estimates the level of a new learner and guides them to the right class.
Sorting practice
Put words or sentences in the right group: verb tenses, prepositions, formal and informal words. Instant feedback explains why a sentence belongs to another group.
IELTS-style quizzes and the report card
Quizzes are built with a fixed time and a score. After the quiz, the correct answer and its explanation are shown and the result stays in the learner’s report card. We define the question structure of an IELTS quiz or of the different levels together in your project.
Two languages side by side, without breaking
On language-teaching sites, mixing right-to-left and left-to-right text usually scrambles sentences: a full stop moves, a bracket is reversed. In this academy the layout is set up for mixed-language content, so English sentences are shown the way they should be, even next to explanations in another language.
A purple and energetic look
Learning a language should feel like movement and energy. The purple color and the short animations of this demo were chosen for that. In your project, the look is matched to the brand of your school.
Audio, video and live classes
Audio files and video go inside the lesson and appear next to the exercises. The live class stays where it is, and this academy covers practice, vocabulary and quizzes between sessions. The academy is built on your own hosting. For teaching children, also see the virtual elementary school demo.
Summary
A language school with online practice accompanies the learner between classes too. A personal dashboard, flashcards and quizzes with a report card make this possible. See the online demo right now; the access arrives in your email instantly and automatically.
