Within our online learning environment of Tweens and Tracks it is now also possible to have the speaking exercises assessed automatically. No extra actions, but more insight. Read how that works here!

Automatic rating

How good is the students' pronunciation ? Our system assesses the speaking exercises for intelligibility (pronunciation) and the fluent pronunciation (fluency) of the sentences. After completing an exercise, the students immediately see their score. The speaking exercises form an integrated whole with all other skills in our online learning path.

The automatic assessment does not require any additional actions from you as teachers and tutors. It does give more insight into the speaking skills of each student. For example, a student's scorecard now provides a complete overview of the performance on all skills. As before, you can always listen to the speaking exercise in detail and literally hear what a student has recorded, if necessary.

Increase courage to speak

The intention of the speaking exercises is to prepare for the classroom lessons and to let words and sentences become ingrained. During the classroom lessons, the students do a lot of talking and with the help of the exercises we try to help them increase their courage to speak. In the classroom lesson they do not speak the sentences  the first time, but they have them already prepared  online.

Now that the speaking exercises can be automatically graded, students will become even better at their pronunciation. This improvement will increase both self-confidence and the ability to speak.

Have fun speaking English!
