- 14. My review ofipadio on Google Play 1. Generous length for each recording 2. Easy to post (all or) selected recordings to an eportfolio on WordPress or Blogger 3. Easy to embed manually in Edmodo, for example 4. Teachers can follow students, although this needs improving 5. Teachers (and students) can add comments, although it would be nice if ‘new lines could be used’ How do students record themselves?

- 16.

- 18. Evaluate 1 recordinga week selected by each student • 1024 • Listen once to the first minute of your recording and pause when you get to each of these grammar mistakes and take some notes: • Hannah stopped just in time • she got out of the car • she looked at the man • Jamie got in the car • they ordered a cup of coffee • Here are some pronunciation problems. Listen to my recording and repeat the grammar mistakes and the pronunciation mistakes. There should be time to repeat them. Use your mobile to record my version and yours and then listen and compare them: • across /r/ car sorry /r/ • Nearly bar
- 19. Evaluate 1 recordinga week selected by each student • Your pronunciation was good but in all these problems you made a mistake with the letter 'r' Listen to me, and then look at the BBC pronunciation pages about /r/. Bar and car are not said with an /r/ they are /ba:/ and /ka:/ just a long /a/ and nearly doesn't have an /r/, either • Listen again to the first minute of your recording and stop at each of these grammar and pronunciation errors above and say each word correctly. • Very fluent, but a few grammar problems and one or two pronunciation problems to solve. • I've just spent 8 minutes on this. Please make sure that you spend at least as much time as me trying to learn from your mistakes. If you like you can make a new recording and post it here. • Here's the link to /r/ from BBC Learning English: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/pronunciation/otherconst6

- 24. Pending analysis ofmy experiment with evaluating recordings 2014-2015 • I evaluated 169 recordings made by my students and, in theory, selected by them as their best work of the fortnight and spent on average 9.7 minutes on each one. • Based on the statistics I gathered, a limit of 5 minutes' feedback should generate on average 6 Grammar, and 3 Pronunciation problems, which is a total of 9 problems, which is surely enough! • I calculate that listening to just the first minute three times will probably take five minutes, particularly if I record the pronunciation myself instead of providing links to www.howjsay.com .

- 25. Pending analysis ofmy experiment with evaluating recordings 2014-2015 • I tested listening to just the first minute with 6 recordings and in fact, it took close to 5 minutes and I was able to give an average of 4/5 grammar points and 5/6 pronunciation points and record my pronunciation of the pronunciation points and upload the recording to Edmodo. • As the average time I spent on feedback this year (2013- 2014) was 9.7 minutes every two weeks, limiting feedback to 5 minutes next year but doing it every week will make the total amount of time I spend on feedback roughly the same, but will make it more digestible as 9 things to work on at a time will be more practical than 18 things at a time!
