Are some of your students too shy to speak in class? Do you have trouble figuring out how to engage your students with speaking in the target language outside the classroom? As a FluentKey Pro user, your students can practice speaking without the pressure of speaking in front of the whole class. Two great Pro features allow you to integrate speaking practice into individual assignments on FluentKey!
You can record a question, type a question (or both) and require your students to answer with an audio recording or a video recording! This is a great way to engage your students of all personality types, while also giving you the opportunity to assess them. It also is a way to encourage speaking outside of the classroom – we all know that our students don’t have enough time in class!
