Speakable

Speakable is a multilingual tool designed to assist in developing automatically graded speaking tasks for use in over 100 languages. Its primary purpose is to free educators from the time-consuming task of grading numerous recordings, thereby freeing up more time for instruction.

The platform provides a range of features, including Speaking Cards, which allow learners to refine their pronunciation by repeating phrases or answering questions.

The Listening Cards feature offers personalized audio lessons utilizing text-to-speech technology and also allows the integration of videos and podcasts to enhance listening exercises.

Additionally, Writing Cards and Reading Cards are available to enhance students' writing and reading comprehension skills, respectively. Speakable also incorporates grading and feedback mechanisms, such as ACTFL/WIDA estimates to evaluate a student's language proficiency, and a Gradebook & Analytics tool to track student progress, assisting educators in making informed, data-driven decisions.

The platform offers real-time feedback to provide immediate guidance to students during tasks. Furthermore, Speakable integrates with various platforms like Google Images, YouTube, Clever, and Google Classroom, along with a content library featuring resources from its global community of educators.

This tool provides an efficient method for educators to design engaging activities while also effectively monitoring students' advancement in language acquisition.
