94% of students enjoyed using Sanako headsets for language and other educational activities in the computer lab Student Testimonials from San Diego City College, CA
Customer Testimonials "After thoroughly considering other language lab options over a threeyear period, Holliston High School and the Robert Adams Middle School decided to choose Sanako Study 1200 to help students meet its demanding oral proficiency requirements. Students and foreign language staff at Holliston are thrilled with their brand new Sanako lab. No other digital environment provides students with the just-in-time learning opportunities afforded by a language lab in which they may perform both formative and summative assessment measures. It is the interactive nature of the lab, the real-time measure of correction during performance that makes the language lab stand above all other digital environments in scaffolding student learning. Certainly, other digital platforms may be useful in performing summative assessments of students, but it is the formative side of assessment that leads to improved student achievement." - Terry Caccavale, K-12 Foreign Language Specialist, Holliston, MA Public Schools, USA
“Sanako has become an integral part of our World Language program. Through the interactive digital tools and activities available, our students have become active and engaged 21st Century language learners. They can practice their language skills in a nonthreatening and technologically comfortable environment. They can observe, make predictions, and solve problems in real-time using authentic material. They can receive instantaneous feedback about their communication skills. The students love it because it is fun. The teachers love it because instruction can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the learner. Sanako has helped reshape how World Languages are taught in our school.” - Sharon Charbonnier, World Language Department Coordinator, Chelmsford High School, Massachusetts, USA “The Sanako Study lab is so great! It is so easy to use and the students really make such noticeable progress. This is definitely much better than any other lab that I have used before. Sanako takes the frustration out of using a language lab. I highly recommend them!” - Laurence-Marie Forberg, French Teacher, Riverside Brookfield High School, Illinois, USA
