🎨 A Fresh New Layout

Assignments now feature a streamlined, full-screen mode that keeps students focused on the task at hand. The new design includes:

• A clean, focused student view designed to minimize distractions
• A dedicated media area for audio and video prompts
• An expanded feedback panel where scores, corrections, and teacher comments are displayed

This redesign not only looks great, but also makes the experience smoother and more engaging for students.

🔁 Improved Repeat Functionality

Practice makes perfect, and now repeating prompts feels better than ever.

• The repeat function has been rebuilt for a seamless experience
• Students can easily listen and practice as many times as needed
• Teachers can be confident that students are engaging deeply with the material

🎧 Smarter Pronunciation Feedback

One of the most exciting updates is enhanced pronunciation analysis. Students can now:

This immediate, targeted feedback builds confidence and accuracy in speaking.
