Material: ** Livemocha Online Language Learning Livemocha is available today with support for six popular languages – English, Spanish, French, Hindi, German, and Mandarin Chinese. Key elements of Livemocha’s learning approach include: · **Dynamic lesson content ** – Lesson plans include over 160 hours of beginner and intermediate level content teaching everyday conversational language along with a full range of practical reading, listening, writing and speaking exercises. Livemocha also leverages the native language expertise of its members by allowing them to enhance the content with grammar tips, alternative phrases and colloquialisms. · **Global community ** – Members all over the world can utilize their native language proficiency to teach and learn from other members of the community. Users have the option of practicing structured conversation exercises with a native speaker or submitting a writing or an audio sample of an exercise for a native speaker to edit or correct. These community-based interactive tools in Livemocha help build a strong engaged language community. · **Motivational system ** – For most people with little free time, learning a language can take a back seat to their busy lives. Through competitions, a language buddy system and community encouragement, Livemocha provides the tools to keep learners motivated and making steady progress.
 * Level: ** Beginning to advanced level for young adult and adult learners. As the community is interactive between adults, it’s not as appropriate for very young learners.
 * Description: ** Livemocha is an online learning environment based on the Active Learning approach, that uses a social web platform to create real relationships between users. The central program works similarly to Rosetta Stone, where users choose answers from a series of visual cues. What separates Livemocha is their inclusion of the learning community into the growth of the learning environment. Users critique each others work, add flashcard sets and even correct parts of the program that are lacking.
