Describe the solution from the perspective of e-<strong>CAL</strong><br />

The use of resources requires the creation of a login. There are several exercises available in DE,<br />

FR, IT, ES, EN <strong>et</strong>c. More can be created by everybody. After selecting a video the user can choose to<br />

take the role of one of the characters. An associated action will be performed. This action varies<br />

depending on the exercise type . After selecting the <strong>des</strong>ired role, the video will run until the time<br />

for that character to speak, at which point, Babelium will record the user’s voice (and, if wanted<br />

to, an image from their webcam). The user has a limited time-frame to respond, exactly the same<br />

amount of time taken by the role of their chosen character in the original video.<br />

When the user compl<strong>et</strong>es the recording (dubbing of the conversation, expressing an opinion or<br />

repeating what they have heard) they can review their work before publishing it. When the user likes<br />

the recording, he or she can publish it to the server. In this way the result will be available for<br />

evaluation by other users.<br />

This evaluation is done collaboratively, e.g. if the recording was done in French, other users with a high<br />

level of proficiency in French will have the chance to judge the performance.<br />

Following exercise types are available: Free context, Error d<strong>et</strong>ection, Rep<strong>et</strong>ition, Comprehension,<br />

Translation, Storytelling and reading.<br />
