Figure 3.1 Example of an Exercise from ei tp within LanGuide content Management
System
ation between language experts and the i t team working on the project.
Three types of tasks were selected as appropriate: Multiple Choice tasks,
Cloze tasks, and Drag & Drop tasks. Other types of exercises were dis-
carded because they are not suitable for the automatic evaluation that the
LanGuide tool performs.
Once the exercises were complete, and prior to being included into the
Content Management System, they underwent initial evaluation as part
of the LanGuide approach to materials development. The exercises were
first evaluated by the project’s linguistic team. After receiving initial feed-
back on their materials, creators revised them as suggested and prepared
them for implementation in the Content Management System. The Con-
tent Manager also supports the integration of auxiliary materials needed
for the exercises, such as text files, videos, and images.
Figure 3.1 shows an exercise for practicing vocabulary: more specifically,
i t vocabulary regarding basic computer parts. It is intended for language
learners at the basic level of proficiency. It contains a link to a YouTube
video that is shown to the learner in the LanGuide app. After watching the
video, the learner has to fill in the blanks with the corresponding words
(parts of a computer).
Figure 3.2 shows an exercise for practicing reading comprehension in
e a p. It is intended for language learners at the basic level of proficiency.
