Student Activities / Language Assistants

Activity Practice for All Skills

• Speakology AI: imagine a zoom conversation in the target language about the topics students are studying. With Speakology AI students can do this 24/7 at the time most convenient for them. It's an opportunity to practice language and build the confidence to speak in natural spontaneous sessions. 

• Short Answer: help students learn to write with this gamified writing tool that works in your language. 

• Diffit for educators: create leveled texts with a URL of an article, pdf, or video. Or paste in any text. This tool allows you to choose from almost any language and level. 

• Lingoteach: Specifically for languages this will generate a text based on your specification, create an audio so you can listen and read, allow highlighting of parts of speech, create practice exercises and more. There are a limited number of resources you can create before you need to pay, FYI.

• Murf: text to speech voice overs in multiple languages. Import or copy and paste the content to be spoken and pick the voice you want in your language. Share using the embed code or a link. 

• Character.ai: It will converse in a language of your choice. If you say something in a non-authentic way it will tell you how it would have said it and it will use circumlocution to explain what you didn't understand so you remain in the target language. 

• EnlightenAI: you can teach this tool to provide personalized writing feedback on student work. It will learn from you, rubrics, and samples that you submit to know what you are looking for in student writing. It also can guide students as they write so they have a couple of opportunities to improve their work before they turn it in. As of Feb. 2025 this works in Spanish and English. Additional languages to be added soon.
