Question 1

How do I get teacher access?

Accepted Answer

Create a normal account, then ask your program administrator to assign you to a class or give you a teacher class code. A Teacher tab then appears on your dashboard.

Question 2

What does the Teacher tab show me?

Accepted Answer

One card per class with the class team score, practice attempts this week, how many students were active, the full roster with last-active, invite links, and lesson assignments.

Question 3

I see "You aren't assigned to any classes yet."

Accepted Answer

You have not been linked to a class. Ask your program administrator to assign you as the class teacher or to send a teacher class code.

Question 4

How do I invite students?

Accepted Answer

Use the invite link in your class card, or give students the class code to enter on their dashboard.

Question 5

Which students have signed in, and which haven't?

Accepted Answer

Check the roster: Last active shows Never for students who have not practiced yet, and Active this week shows how many have practiced in the last 7 days.

Question 6

A student appears twice, or is in the wrong class.

Accepted Answer

Use the Move to… menu in the roster to transfer the student to another class you teach; ask your program administrator for moves outside your classes.

Question 7

What should I tell a brand-new student?

Accepted Answer

Tell them to go to the site, click Join, use their email, confirm the email, then enter the class code or open the invite link, choose their first language, and open the assigned lesson.

Question 8

A student can't sign in or hear audio. What do I check?

Accepted Answer

Confirm they used the same email, confirmed it by email, reset the password if needed, and that device volume is up and they pressed the listen button, since audio never autoplays.

Question 9

How do I assign a lesson to my class?

Accepted Answer

In the class card open Lesson assignments, pick the curriculum, unit and lesson, and add it. It is pinned to the top of every student's dashboard.

Question 10

Can I assign more than one lesson?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multiple assignments can be active at once; remove any you no longer need so the list stays short.

Question 11

How do I see how an individual student is doing on a lesson?

Accepted Answer

The roster shows each student's last-active date and weekly practice counts; use it to spot who needs help.

Question 12

What counts as practice?

Accepted Answer

Each completed exercise attempt counts, including vocabulary games, listening, speaking and writing tasks and story questions.

Question 13

How do I turn the team leaderboard on?

Accepted Answer

Use the Team leaderboard switch at the top of your class card. Students then get their own opt-in switch.

Question 14

Why a team score instead of individual rankings?

Accepted Answer

Many adult learners come from cultures that value the group over the individual, so the score rewards participation by the whole class.

Question 15

How do I use it well in class?

Accepted Answer

Show the class score at the start of class, set a weekly team goal, celebrate the students who moved from Never to active, and never read out individual numbers.

Question 16

Which curriculums can my students use?

Accepted Answer

All of them. Every signed-in user can open any curriculum, whether or not they are in a class.

Question 17

Where do I get the printed student and teacher books?

Accepted Answer

Download links to the student book, teacher book and homework handouts are on the curriculum page.

Question 18

Can I try the exercises myself first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use Practice or open any lesson as a student would; your own attempts do not affect class reports.

Question 19

Newsletter emails and my details

Accepted Answer

Teachers and administrators may opt in to the newsletter at signup and can change that any time on the Account page.
