A rich content and customized learning tools

LinguaPro can be used during school classes, from the primary school until last year of highschool, under a teacher's guidance or independently. For each media, predefined paths and optional tools, developed by a specialized team, are proposed. They allow different approaches of the media and enable, upon each person's objectives, the development of the comprehension skills or of the verbal communication skills, under guidance or independently.

High-performance yet simple to use features
You can choose a media directly or by using the search engine, applying various filters, like the language, the topic, the level or even filling in some keywords. The media can be watched continuously or cut into sequences.
Along with the images, the text is displayed and it includes notes on the words or expressions that are difficult or of a particular interest and you have access to Collins Lexibase dictionary to enrich your knowledge.
InfoLangue also offers you complementary and innovative tools for improving your verbal skills such as the option to listen to the pronunciation, to record, download audio files or even print written info.

An attractive graphical presentation and smooth browsing experience.
An elaborated visual interface, clear and user-friendly based on compatible Flash development.

• Choosing a module
  With LinguaPro, one can approach differently a media, audio or video, and use all or part of the application's features. These different usages were predefined through four modules:
  Oral comprehension, advanced comprehension, oral practice and free practice.
  Upon the module, a document's listening can be made continuously, in sequences, successively, limited or not, together or not with the transcription, with or without access to certain tools.
  Whatever the module chosen, you can consult and print all the info from the Guide (time length, level, producer, summary) and the context elements of the media and lexical help. You also have the possibility to download the audio file for most of the medias and you have access to all the activities suggested, at each moment.


• Reading a media in LinguaPro and using its features
  On the home page, when you launch a media, the reading page will display a file, the scroll bar, the various sequences of the media, the learning content and the toolbar.


• The toolbar allows access to different features, which become active, upon the path you take.


• The search engine
  For searching a media in the files base available, select the language and then apply one or multiple filters: the topic derived from the official guidelines, the indexed level according to the Common European Framework of Reference, keywords, source, media type or even time length.
