USING TELL ME MORE

Finally, the time has come for you to have a go at the language software we have in our labs. For students who have yet to give it a try, you will soon. Get your username and password from your respective class representatives. Your username depends on the programme and section you are in, and the position you are on the attendance list. So say for example, you are taking UHL2312, from section P13, and you are the 3rd student on the name list, your username should be UHL2312P13S3. If you are S3, then your password is S3.

Please be careful logging in as the username and password are case sensitive. Do note that the username and password are in ALLCAPS or UPPERCASE.

Once in, please click on the chosen level, in this case, it's either Advanced+ or Business+. You can choose to do any one first. Then click on the green check button, then choose the FREE TO ROAM mode, then validate by clicking on the green check button again.

You have been given a Tell Me More assessment form for information on which activities to do, as well as to fill up once you have completed the activities. Remember you need to hand in this form once the allocated time for TELL ME MORE is complete. We advise you to finish all activities first before attempting to re-do any of the activities. Also bring your own headphones, as the headphones provided in the lab might not work.

If you are having problems with the PC, or the headphone and mic, please inform your lecturer so that your lecturer can report the problem to the lab manager. Or call our lab managers at 095492461.

Here are some troubleshooting advice:

1) If the PC you are using has a headphone that does not function, please do an activity that does not require the use of the headphone yet, e.g., Grammar Workshop. Grammar Workshop is the third icon after the HOME icon at the bottom left corner of your screen. Choose the relevant Grammar Workshop activity to do. Once done, trade PCs with a friend who has done the speaking and listening part.

2) Should you want to change PCs or go to another PC, please log out by clicking on 'change user account' instead of clicking on 'Quit TELL ME MORE'. If you simply quit the programme, chances are when you use the other PC, the remark that you are logged on on another PC will appear.

3) If at any time, the PC gets stuck, then you will need to turn it off and then on again. Same goes, if you can't get into TELL ME MORE, please restart the PC.

Okay, if you have any questions, you can direct them to me. Thank you.
