Strong listening and reading comprehension skills are essential for language learners, but assessing understanding can be challenging—especially when students are at different proficiency levels. Speakable makes it easy to create customized comprehension activities where students engage with audio clips, documents, or text and receive AI-powered feedback that considers the full context of the material.
Students often struggle with:
✔️ Understanding meaning beyond individual words
✔️ Processing spoken and written language in real-world contexts
✔️ Receiving feedback that accounts for the full passage or conversation
With Speakable, teachers can create listening and reading comprehension activities that support students at any proficiency level while providing targeted feedback.
Best for developing real-world listening skills
Listening to authentic speech helps students improve pronunciation, fluency, and contextual understanding. Speakable allows teachers to attach an audio clip to a prompt so the AI evaluates responses based on the full context of the recording.
📌 Customizing by Proficiency Level:
✅ Beginner: Listen to a short phrase and answer yes/no or multiple-choice questions.
✅ Intermediate: Summarize the main idea of a conversation.
✅ Advanced: Analyze tone, argument, or intent in a spoken passage.
📝 Example Prompt: “Listen to this interview and explain the speaker’s main argument.”
🎯 Goal: Improve students’ ability to process spoken language and extract key details.
👩🏫 Teacher Tip: Use native-speaker audio recordings to expose students to authentic pronunciation and pacing.
Best for improving vocabulary, grammar, and text interpretation
Speakable allows teachers to attach a document or paste text into a prompt, enabling AI feedback that considers the full passage rather than just isolated responses.
📌 Customizing by Proficiency Level:
✅ Beginner: Identify key words or match questions to answers.
✅ Intermediate: Summarize the main idea and identify supporting details.
✅ Advanced: Provide an in-depth analysis of structure, argument, or author’s intent.
📝 Example Prompt: “Read the article and explain how the author supports their argument.”
🎯 Goal: Strengthen students’ ability to analyze, summarize, and interpret written language.
👩🏫 Teacher Tip: Use gradually longer and more complex texts to scaffold comprehension skills.
Best for connecting written and spoken language
Many real-world scenarios require students to process both written and spoken information at the same time. Speakable enables teachers to create activities where students listen to an audio clip and read a related passage before responding.
📌 Customizing by Proficiency Level:
✅ Beginner: Match a spoken sentence to its written version.
✅ Intermediate: Compare and contrast information in the text and audio.
✅ Advanced: Analyze how tone, argument, or bias differs between spoken and written formats.
📝 Example Prompt: “Listen to the speech and read the article. How does the speaker’s argument compare to the written version?”
🎯 Goal: Help students synthesize information across different formats for deeper understanding.
👩🏫 Teacher Tip: Use discussion-based follow-ups to reinforce comprehension and critical thinking.
