Today, my English students started using EnglishCentral to practice their speaking skills.
The website requires a headset with a microphone.
The student watches a video clip; there are hundreds from which to choose. The videos have subtitles. After each sentence, the student pauses the video and records himself repeating the sentence. The student’s utterance is measured against the original and the student receives a score.
The website keeps profiles with scores, videos watched and achievements.
My students really enjoyed the activity. Anything which is presented as a game seems to boost motivation.
