Week 1. Comments on Instremia ed-lab video
https://vialogues.com/vialogues/play/8557

These are some ideas that came across as I watched the video:
Watching the description on Instremia was very interesting. The  authors of this software ( Scott and Ryan)  have developed what it seems an easy way to create exercises automatically. This is really outstanding.
Characteristics:
It offers lots of ways for students to identify the words, the sounds or words, the contexts of vocabulary ( as far as tense, topic, etc.)
Students can submit assignments and get inmediate feedback, interact with others.  I loved the idea of native volunteer teachers helping check students productions.
High frequency words is the criteria for vocabulary selection .

Being a language teacher  I have constantly come across linguistics theoretical  readings which claim that language learning should be in chunks rather than isolated words . Instremia does not follow this principle, but does it work anyway?
It seems that learning the words in multiple contexts helps learners to understand and maybe associate the words with others ( collocations as we call them).

It was clear that the best scenario for using Instremia  is blended learning

I am a native Spanish speaker , teach English as foreign language and I would love to learn German using Instreamia to view and reflect on my own learning process.

Loved the presentation.
Congrats.
