Modernizing Language Teaching at Raseinių Gymnasium

 

Raseinių Prezidento Jono Žemaičio Gymnasium, a leading secondary school in Lithuania, sought to enhance language education through technology. By integrating SmartClass in 2015 and upgrading in 2023, the school revolutionized its approach to teaching, improving efficiency and student engagement.

 

 

Why Change Was Needed:

  • Traditional methods required extensive teacher preparation time.
  • No similar digital language solutions were available in Lithuania at the time.
  • Needed a structured, interactive platform to boost student motivation.

SmartClass in Action:

  • First Adoption (2015): Established a digital language lab with 20 seats.
  • Major Upgrade (2023): Introduced SmartClass SMA with digital English content and improved network infrastructure.
  • Key Benefits:
  1. Pre-built English exercises saved teachers significant time.
  2. Interactive activities increased student participation and learning outcomes.
  3. Ongoing support ensured smooth operation despite occasional technical challenges.

Results & Future Plans:

  • Teacher Satisfaction: SmartClass reduced workload and enhanced lesson planning.
  • Student Impact: More dynamic and engaging language learning experience.
  • Next Steps: Considering SmartClass Cloud for even greater accessibility and flexibility.
