Create complex vocal recordings, audio plays, dialogues, etc... by recording single voice clips with the integrated audio recorder. By adding images and videos you can provide additional language incentives. Practice your discourse, create and edit dialogues, narrate and speak freely about a topic. Recorded audio-clips can also be recombined or resorted later.

Tiparlo is an online tool and therefore it can be accessed on any device with internet. Tiparlo can be used in multiple contexts: for private purposes, for education (Kindergarten, K12, secondary school, university, language school, adult education), for research, and of course for fun.

It can be used by every person and of any age, capable of clicking on a mouse and dragging an object on a screen.

You can work by yourself or with others. The inherent pedagogical design of the tool promotes cooperation and autonomy, facilitates peer to peer tutoring, sustains co-construction and self-evaluation processes.

Tiparlo is perfect for minimal invasive language teaching and for L2 acquisition in multilingual contexts where students share their explicit and implicit language knowledge in meaningful situations.

As of the 2024 school year, Tiparlo will be made available to all elementary schools in Luxembourg via a new central platform as part of a collaboration between EducDesign and the Ministry (SCRIPT).

This is offered under the name Babbelix, and can be used in the browser at app.babbelix.lu, or downloaded as an iOS / Android app in the corresponding stores.
