AuraTech brings advanced Technology-based solutions for enhanced English Language Learning over the Internet or through CDs. These are offered in partnership with Edusoft Ltd. Our comprehensive program covers Reading, Listening, Speaking, Grammar, and Writing skills. Students can explore, learn and practice at their own pace according to their own learning styles, abilities and preferences. The Internet is a unique environment which promotes learning through the integration of multiple media such as text, sound, video, graphics and animation, which can all be combined in a non-linear interactive way through hyper-linking. The Internet also has tremendous communicative potential because it permits numerous forms of interaction and collaboration such as email, instant messaging, chats, forums and notice boards. An Internet-based course such as English Discoveries Online which takes advantage of both the versatility and communicative aspects of the Internet as a medium for language learning is thus the perfect learning environment. The Internet allows for the creation of a community of learners and encourages the use of English for communicative and real-life purposes.



The Content can be used as a Supplementary learning material by students. This obviates the need for the teacher to do some of the routine tasks and become a facilitator, customizing learning paths to suit students' interests and abilities and helping them navigate the course.


We can also integrate the EDO content with the curriculum of the school and offer it as a Blended solution. English Discoveries Online has the potential to reinforce and even replace much of the presentation and practice elements that you would normally include in your classroom teaching. This then enables the teacher, to maximize the time students spend on production/performance-based tasks in the classroom. Since English Discoveries Online is divided into topic-based units, it easily lends itself to classroom integration. The topic-based learning environment of English Discoveries Online also enables the re-entry of vocabulary in different contexts and promotes the learning of English as a means of real authentic communication.


The TMS (Teacher Management System) allows the teacher to track students’ progress You can see how much of the course your students have completed, when they last worked in different components of the course, and view their test results. You can also view students' progress unit by unit or across the whole course per listening, reading, speaking and grammar component. Using TMS the teacher can also customize students' learning paths in several ways. Firstly, teacher can block or unassign certain elements of the course, for instance you can decide that you do not want your class to take the tests provided by the system, because you prefer to give your own tests in class. Secondly, you can reassemble the components of the course to create your own course. For instance, you could decide to create a listening course which spans several levels, or reassemble the components to create units that better reflect material that you want to cover in class.
