Dear LLTI Community,

We are very pleased to let you know about a recent independent review of
WebSwami:

England, June 9, 2009 - $E3In terms of a web-based language lab (not including
live-teaching synchronous features) nothing competes with WebSwami$E4, says
HLT Magazine.

With extra synchronous tools currently in development and expected to be
released soon, it looks like the future is bright for WebSwami!

WebSwami was recently reviewed in Humanising Language Teaching Magazine, an
online publication from Pilgrims English Language Courses. The article was
written after the author, &#304;lhan &#304;ncay, an English teacher from North
Cyprus
with a strong interest in CALL, had completed extensive testing of the system.

The author was impressed with many of WebSwami$E2s features including the
user-friendly design and navigation and incorporation of one-click webcam
recording, saying that, $E3WebSwami leapfrogs all the competitors with WebCam
recording, which allows a much more fun and personal approach$E4.

The full review can be found here [ http://www.hltmag.co.uk/jun09/pubs01.htm
] and more information on WebSwami at http://www.webswami.com.
