Speakable

Speakable is an innovative tool that helps teachers create engaging speaking activities while saving them time on grading.

Designed for multilingual users, Speakable supports over 100 languages, making it a versatile resource for educators everywhere. Its primary aim is to ease the grading load for teachers, allowing them to focus more on teaching instead of spending hours grading audio recordings.

One of the standout features is the Speaking Cards, which help students practice their pronunciation by encouraging them to repeat phrases or respond to specific prompts. This interactive approach not only boosts their speaking skills but also keeps them engaged in the learning process.

Then there are the Listening Cards, which use advanced text-to-speech technology to deliver customized audio lessons. But it doesn’t stop there—teachers can also integrate videos and podcasts to enrich listening exercises, making learning even more dynamic and enjoyable for students.

Additionally, Speakable offers Writing Cards and Reading Cards aimed at enhancing students' writing abilities and reading comprehension. These tools provide targeted practice, ensuring students get a well-rounded language learning experience.

For teachers, Speakable comes equipped with helpful grading and feedback tools. Using ACTFL/WIDA estimates, teachers can assess their students’ language proficiency, and the Gradebook & Analytics tool helps monitor progress, enabling data-driven decisions to support student learning effectively.

What’s really great is the real-time feedback feature. It provides immediate guidance to students during their activities, helping them stay on track and improve as they learn.

Lastly, Speakable seamlessly integrates with popular platforms like Google Images, YouTube, Clever, and Google Classroom. Plus, it boasts a content library filled with resources created by educators from around the world, giving teachers access to a treasure trove of engaging materials. Overall, Speakable presents a powerful and efficient way to create captivating activities while keeping track of students' progress in their language learning journey.
