So, new learners receive an invitation to join Slack from the beginning of their training. If you (instructor) or your student does not receive invitation, please inform the staff of ALL IN ONE-BENIN. Once you are accepted to ALL IN ONE-BENIN as an instructor or learner, you are invited to join the Slack community as well for collaboration.

Students taking language classes are required post one word per day on Slack in #general-discussion in the following format.
