Speakable.io is your friendly neighborhood SPEAKING/PRONUNCIATION COACH, down to the syllable level!! It is an absolute must for most subjects, not just language teachers. It not only saves many, many hours, but the detailed feedback and correction does a more thorough and excellent job than any of us could do if we had literally nothing else to do. The thoughtful, sensitive, encouraging, detailed, accurate, extensive feedback with grammar correction, compliance evaluation, suggestions, and assessment per standards cannot be done by us teachers. Student portfolios keep track of ongoing progress in oral and written work, even listening and reading comprehension. Upload your own rubrics for evaluation, or ACTFL, or whichever. Social Studies, history, and language arts teachers, not just world language teachers, should be using it for oral and written exams. Up your game x 1000! The personal customer support by developers we come to know and recognize, webinars, personal zoom troubleshooting is so unusual these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not sure if there is an 'I give up" feature for words that are difficult to pronounce, but if not, there needs to be. My students got hung up on the French U, which modeling in the app doesn't teach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
