The purpose of this document is to provide you with a quick reference guide to key functions and features of TELL ME MORE®. This will enable you to navigate and work within your personalized language program quickly and productively. QUICK Tip #1 – Placement Test and Self Assessment. The optional Placement Test is a 64 question timed test. You will be tested on vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening skills. Test time is 30-45 minutes. You can opt not to participate in the Placement Test and leverage the Self Assessment tool which allows you to choose the level you feel most appropriate (beginner to advanced/expert) you can always go back and change. See Quick Tip #2. QUICK Tip #2 – Create/Modify learning objectives. - After completing the Placement Test or Self Assessment and you feel that your learning objectives do not match your skill level you can modify your learning objectives. To create/modify your objectives simply go to your personalized student portal http://www.tellmemore-online.com select “modify my objectives” and confirm the next 4 steps. QUICK Tip #3 – Help function. Spend a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the comprehensive HELP feature . We strongly recommend using help when first entering your “Selected Language Program” page. If and/or when you have deactivated the automatic help window popup, remember that help is always available. Simply click on the down arrow next to Guided Mode on the top right hand portion of the screen. QUICK Tip #4 – Speech Recognition – Useful tips are provided in the applications help feature (see quick ref: 5 ) on how to use speech recognition effectively. The most useful tips are; 1) Try and work in a quiet environment with as little background noise as possible, 2) Wait until the notification “beeps” before speaking into the microphone and 3) Try and complete the word and/or phrase within the 5 second allotted time. You can always press the pause button if you need more time before practicing the pronunciation. QUICK Tip # 5 – The Red Dot – The Find out more about a word button (Red dot with an arrow going through) is located on the upper left corner below the instructions.

QUICK Tip # 6 – Training using the online “Guided Mode.” – This is the structured, pedagogical approach within TELL ME MORE® to learning the target language. The learning paths have been pre-set by a consortium of linguists and are arranged to develop maximum results based on immersion pedagogy. Jump into the program, and allow it to work.
