WordChamp has been designed specifically with language teachers and tutors in mind. Whether you teach a classroom full of students or have one student, or whether you want your students to stay entirely in the target language or translate, practice conjugations or reading, use pictures or just practice pronunciation, WordChamp gives you the tools to teach any language, to any level or age group.
Quickly set up and assign online homework activities — With WordChamp you can set up an online class and use or create your own language assignments for your students, or browse and use existing drills created by other language teachers and WordChamp members.
Help students learn vocabulary faster — When studying a foreign language, vocabulary acquisition is one of the number one items that occupies students’ time. With dynamic, interactive activities, WordChamp makes it easy for students to learn and practice the vocabulary they need to succeed in a language, in their own time.
Receive immediate feedback — WordChamp tracks performance at both a class and a student level, saving you time you might have spent grading papers, and providing you valuable information to use when planning your next class. Scroll to the Track Performance section of this document for more information on tracking performance.
Create and post your own tutoring advertisement — Language Learners worldwide can search for and contact you for tutoring when you create and post your own ad and tutoring schedule on WordChamp.com. The tools we have developed for you to do this are free to our tutors — there are no start-up or membership fees for tutors to advertise on our website.
Set your own fees — Our tutoring program is designed so that tutors have total control over the fees they earn from students. In your tutor ad, you can set your own price for your sessions, and collect your fees from students securely over PayPal or by credit card. WordChamp does not charge its tutors anything to use these services, and instead collects only a nominal fee directly from the student.
Language Drills — WordChamp provides an easy authoring tool for you to create any number of interactive language activities for your students: reading practice, listening comprehension, dictation, translation, pronunciation, picture and verb drills. You can also easily add pictures and audio to your activities, or find and edit activities created by other teachers to use with your own students.
Web Reader — With the WordChamp Web Reader you can assign students longer, and more interesting authentic readings earlier. The Web Reader is an easy-to-use traveling dictionary, allowing you to receive instant foreign language support, including audio, for any foreign language website, text or reading.
Online Safety — At WordChamp, we are committed to doing everything we can to maintain a safe and secure language learning environment, particularly for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8. Details on the measures we have implemented, including how we give teachers control over student access to community features on our website, can be found in our help center document on
Student Safety and Privacy.
Using WordChamp, it's possible to track a wide variety of information about your students' progress:
|
 |
This graph shows your students, the homework assignments (on a weekly basis), and completion of assignments over the course of the week. This graph makes it immediately clear who is and isn't doing the work. You can also see that many students have chosen to do the assignments multiple times. |
|
These graphs can all show information organized by month, week, day, or hour.
|
|
 |
Correct, Already Known, Overridden
This graph shows the percentage of words the student already knew, the percentage he or she answered correctly, and the percentage overridden. This can help you get a sense for how quickly your students are learning the vocabulary, especially if you assign the same vocabulary list using different drills.
