What does Edform offer world language teachers?
Edform gives Spanish, French, German and other world language teachers one place for vocabulary, listening and reading practice. Write a word list once — the translation or a picture as the question, the word as the answer — and students practise it as guess the word, anagram, crossword, match up, memory or flashcards. Word games work with accented letters and with Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian and Georgian alphabets. Video lessons add listening practice: the clip stops at your questions, with captions and slower playback. AI tools write vocabulary stories, glossaries and texts, and translate your materials.
