This tutorial is an introduction to help you build your language learning journey, in broad terms. It will also allow you to fully understand how the EDOlang platform works.
To begin, we advise you to diagnose your situation. This is an initial self-assessment which will help you identify your learner personality, your level, your needs and your skills.
Thanks to this assessment, you will be able to set learning objectives.
In order to achieve these objectives, EDOlang provides you with a set of services and resources:
- workshops on cultural, linguistic or methodological points ;
- thematic conversations in the language you are learning ;
- individual interviews with an advisor from one of the language; resource centers to support you in building your learning ;
- linguistic exchanges with a native speaker – also called tandems – ;
- a catalogue of digital resources
- and physical but also proposals for events that offer you the opportunity to practice a language outside the university.
To make the best use of these services and resources, we advise you to rely on a support tool throughout your learning: this is the logbook.
You are invited to note and analyze in your logbook all the activities you carry out to learn a language.
This ongoing self-assessment process helps you manage your learning by taking stock of your objectives, selecting the most relevant strategies for you or directing you to services and resources suited to your project.
Your teachers or an advisor are there to support you in this reflection if you wish.
Let’s now see how to implement this approach within the EDOlang platform.
As you have understood, the logbook plays a central role in your learning journey.
It is through him that you will go through to carry out your initial diagnosis and develop your project along the way.
Information and tools to support you in your initial self-assessment can be found in the “me and language learning” section.

You can either see the calendar corresponding to each type of service or have an overview of all the services in the overall calendar.
To discover the digital resources and physical resources accessible in the language resource centers, click on “resource catalogue” on the home page.
Once you have used a resource or service, we advise you to go to your logbook.
It is in the “my activities” section that you can record and analyze what you have done to work on your goals.
There are two tutorials specifically about the logbook, don’t hesitate to watch them!
After analyzing an activity, you can return to your objectives and continue your learning process.
That’s it, that’s it for this general presentation of the construction of your learning path on EDOlang!
