SCOLA Spoken Word is a forum for actual audio/video dialogue between language learners and SCOLA native speakers. Spoken Word lets a user choose "private" to communicate only with a native speaker or "public" to share their dialogue with other language learners. The idea is that by having the opportunity to talk with a native speaker, language learners will be able pick-up on the language subtleties and non-verbal language cues of the language they are learning. All postings and messages may be searched by keyword and sorted by date, language, country and subject.
