1.0 About

The Language Pronunciation and Comprehension Tool (also known as the "ProCommTool") is a web-based application designed to enhance a student's comprehension and pronunciation of a particular language. Instructors create oral components in any language of their choice, and students practice through a series of listening, speaking, and comprehension exercises. This tool can be used in conjunction with language labs or with language curricula by adding a direct oral component. Additionally, this tool can be easily incorporated into any learning management system.

ProComm was designed so that students can repeatedly do these exercises at their own leisure, while being able to immediately receive the correct answer or pronunciation. This guide will show you how to use the Admin Tool to add and manage oral exercises and then publish them to a live online site for your students to view and use.

2.0 Getting Started
