Progression and statistics — teacher guide

Students can find the page as My Learning under Progress, with the subtitle "Here is how you have worked with the language." At the top, you can see days in a row and time spent today, the last seven days, and in total; below is the time broken down by what the student has done. The page belongs to the student—you can see the same figures for your students under Groups.

How It Works

Språki logs time per feature per day, and the entire page is built on that log.

• At the top: the streak counter with Days in a row and Record, as well as four figures—Today, Last 7 days, Total, and Active days this month.
• Last 7 days is a bar chart showing minutes per day.
• Breakdown by feature is the main section. The student toggles between Today, Last 7 days, This week, This month, and Total, and gets a total labeled learning time in this period. Six categories below the total expand into individual features with time and a line like "12 texts · 40 exercises."
• Vocabulary counts Word lists, Total words, Mastered, and Average strength. Mastered means a strength of 80 or more.
• The Activity calendar shows which days of the month had activity, and Difficult words at the bottom: "Words you have practiced several times and still get wrong."

Learning Time and Tool Time

Each feature is marked as either learning or tool, and this determines where the time goes.

Learning time is divided into six categories: Reading (Read, Books, Scan), Listening (Audio stories, Podcast), Speaking (Conversation, Oral practice, Chat), Writing, Practice (Practice, Picture dictionary, Word lists, Dictionary, Mini-app), and Workplace Norwegian. Only this time counts toward the daily total and the streak.

The tools—translator, job application, create images, and the tools page—get their own section called Tools: "Tools help you with a task. Time spent here does not count as learning time and does not build your streak." The time is visible, but kept separate: a student may have a busy week in Språki without it being practice. The dictionary, on the other hand, is on the learning side—looking up a word means reading an explanation and listening to the pronunciation.

Who It Is For

The numbers are primarily designed for the student. They answer "have I kept at it, and what have I spent my time on," and provide a good starting point for a conversation about study habits.

They do not measure learning. Time is effort, not skill, and a student can spend a long time on a text without understanding it. A quiet week is also not proof that nothing is happening—the student may have worked on paper or in the classroom. Use the numbers to ask questions, not to draw conclusions.

Suggestions on How to Work with Progress

1. Let students set their own goals. Ten minutes a day, or four active days a week—the page shows whether that is maintained.
2. Use the breakdown as a conversation starter. If all the time is in Practice and none in Speaking, that is something concrete to address—a choice the student can adjust.
3. Look out for students who have stopped. In the group, Active last 7 days is the quickest indicator. Reach out early; the reason is usually practical.
4. Let students read the page themselves. Two minutes of the lesson, and one thing each person wants to change for next week.
5. Use Difficult Words purposefully. Add the words to a word list and practice them in Practice instead of reviewing everything.
6. Compare the student to themselves. Week-to-week comparisons are meaningful; student-to-student comparisons tell you little, because starting points differ.

Good to Know

• Time is active time, not clock time. The counter stops when the tab is hidden, and after 30 seconds without keystrokes, mouse movement, or touch input. If a student has Språki open for two hours and works for twenty minutes, it counts as twenty minutes.
• You can see students' numbers in Groups. In a group where you are a teacher, the member list shows level, streak, time spent today and the last seven days, a distribution bar across the same six categories, active days, and submissions. Clicking on a student gives you the breakdown per period, vocabulary, calendar, difficult words, and group submissions.
• Difficult words come from Practice. A word ends up there after at least four repetitions, at least two mistakes, and an accuracy below 70 percent. Mistakes in a picture dictionary game are not saved per word, so the list only applies to Practice.
• The streak is only shown when it is active. If the student has been away longer than since yesterday, it displays as zero—also in the group list, so the number never misrepresents this week.
