This way, they are exposed to a learning environment akin to the study abroad experience. ## Tracking each student's progress After each lesson a teacher can review each student's transcript complete with corrections to see whether the lesson went according to plan. We also provide graphs that measure performance on a lesson-by-lesson basis. All of this allows the teachers to gain a deeper understanding at what their students actually retained.

Forced output is frowned upon in the classroom setting and rightly so, but when the students experience it in a more dynamic setting they are increasingly motivated to improve their language skills. ## What The Teachers Are Saying > With OCTB, my students are talking in Spanish during 50 minutes straight, which is otherwise impossible.
