Medical Language Lab has several exercise types, not all of which will necessarily be present in each module. Each Medical Language Lab exercise type is detailed below.

Critical Listening

Listen to the Audio Recording to familiarize yourself with the content. Then, click the Continue to Questions button to answer the questions associated with the audio. After submitting, you will be able to review your results, replay the audio, view a transcript, or try again.

 

​

Multiple-choice questions will follow, based upon the audio prompt.

 

​

Response

Response Exercises are also based upon an audio prompt. Some Response Exercises, however, will require you to record your own voice as the submission. Listen to the Audio Recording (1) to familiarize yourself with the content. Then, click the Continue to Questions button (2) to answer the questions associated with the audio.

 

​

 

Pronounce

In the case of a Pronunciation Exercise, you will be prompted with either a statement or series of words, and you will record yourself speaking. To begin, (1) Click the Microphone Icon) and then read the statement or word precisely as written. When you are finished recording, (2) click the Microphone Icon again, and then (3) select the Next arrow to proceed to the next word or exercise.

 

 

If you wish, you may re-record your answer before proceeding to the next question by clicking the Microphone Icon again, which will overwrite the original recording. You will be scored automatically based upon how well you pronounce the statement. You will need either an internal or external microphone to complete these exercises. If you are asked to grant the system access, click Allow.

 

Once you are satisfied with your recording and have completed each question in the Response Exercise, click Review or Submit. After submitting, you will be able to (1) review your results with phoneme-level feedback, (2) compare your answer to the correct answer, or (3) try again.

 

 

Practice

Practice activities are a collection of alternative exercises that allow for types of learning outside of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Some may be reported to the Gradebook, while others are not (such as Flash Cards, Crossword).
