    Introduction of latest web-based oral and aural language training technology to Level 2 core language programme. Allows students to follow a pathway designed for their level in their own time and at their own pace, ideally on their own laptops. The package's online pronunciation diagnosis lets students work on individual problem areas of oral production in private; students with limited resources for travel to France benefit especially.
