Getting started

The Do you speak Jeun'Est platform is connected to the Gestionnaire d’Accès aux Ressources (GAR), so neither you nor your students need a username or password. When you log in via your Digital Workspace, you enter directly into Do you speak Jeun'Est. The administrator of your institution manages your username as well as your name on the platform (the name your students use to identify you on the platform). Please contact your administrator if you need to make any changes.

Do you speak Jeun'Est is connected to the GAR; your students, as well as your classes, are therefore already identified on our platform. If a student does not appear in your classes, please inform your administrator. It could be a problem with the school data supplied to the GAR, such as a student not assigned to the right teacher or in the correct class.

There are two types of groups on the platform:

Administrative Groups are groups defined by your organization’s administration (if any) and set up on the platform via Single Sign-on protocol or the user account creation implemented from the .csv it has provided. Trainers and learners are assigned to these groups by your organization. Trainers not already assigned to an Administrative Group can join it if they need to, and then can give the group assignments and schedule assessment tests, but they cannot modify its name, or add or remove learners or other trainers from the class. Trainers cannot create or delete Administrative Groups.

Custom Groups are groups created by a trainer, who names the group and places learners in it. The group can be joined by other trainers. Trainers can create or delete such groups as needed. If your organization has not defined any Administrative Groups, trainers will only see the Custom Groups they have created or joined.

To create a new Custom Group, select “Create A New Custom Group” at the top of the My Groups section. Choose a name for the group, and then select the learners to add to the group. You can filter the learner list by Trainer (learners already in a group with a specific trainer) or Group (learners already in a specific group). You can also use the search function to search for specific learners by name or - if they have used one - licence code.

The Assessment Tests on the platform are designed according to CEFR guidelines. To know the proficiency level of the learners in your groups, you can assign an Assessment Test to each group. Knowing the level of your learners will enable you recommend or assign exercises adapted to their needs. All the exercises on the platform are accessible to everyone, but when creating assignments you can filter exercises by difficulty level or grammar point. Based on the level of each learner, you can choose to place them into groups by level and move them to higher-level groups as they progress.

You can also access usage statistics, or - if a learning unit was included as part of an assignment - see learners’ scores on that unit as well as their progress in completing the assignment (Not started, In progress, Finished).

The Learning Language is the target language: the language you will be learning. It can be changed - if you have access to more than one learning language - by clicking on the Change Language button.

The interface language is the language in which the site is navigated - all instructions are given in this language. You can change the interface language to any one of the 26 languages available, unless your organization has imposed the Learning language as the interface language.

The translation language enables you translate words (besides keywords) inside a learning unit, as with a dictionary. You can change the translation language to any one of the 26 languages available.
