After entering their vocabulary words, students are presented with three study methods: the flashcard method; a configurable test page that includes written, matching, multiple-choice, and true– false questions; and a specialized “learn” mode that tracks the user’s knowledge of individual words and retests the user only on unlearned words. The site also features a live chat box for discussing vocabulary usage with other students, the ability to import information from other websites and documents, and the ability to combine word sets.

STELLA: Online European Language Learning
www.eulanguages.net/html/home.asp

Two years ago a transnational EU project, funded with support from the European Commission, was launched under the name of STELLA (Stepping up the e-learning of languages), as part of the Socrates/Minerva program. The STELLA team is currently offering—free-of-charge—online language learning programs for English, Hungarian, and Danish. Learners have an option to select the language of instruction. Underlying the whole project is the STELLA methodology, which implements the ideas and objectives laid down in the Common European Framework of Reference for Modern Languages. The methodology is oriented towards the European Language Certificates, levels A1/A2. Supporting documents include a graded and sequenced distribution of topics, themes, language functions, lexis and syntax which authors can use as a basis to generate online language learning material. The generic system constitutes the electronic implementation of the STELLA methodology. The core material in STELLA is a language learning course (written in English), which serves as a model for authors to write courses for other languages.
