The Fluency item type can be used to give your students pronunciation practice, with more useful feedback than simply that their speech was "right" or "wrong." You can try a sample activity here:

The following screenshot shows the key items on the page

  1. The progress dots - indicating success on 3 phrases/sentences so far
  2. The model audio AND student's audio for the current phrase/sentence.
  3. The current phrase / sentence the student is working on.
  4. The level of accuracy of the last attempt on the current phrase/sentence
  5. The last attempt marked up with green for "good", orange for "fair", and red for "not good".



The Fluency activity works in 20+ languages that are supported by Poodll. But it works best in English. 


Perfection is not required

It can be difficult for a student to get all "green" even when their pronunciation is good. If they have 5 yellow stars, or if they cannot get 5 yellow stars, they should continue. 


The threshold of pronunciation accuracy that is deemed "correct" can be configured in the item's "Correct Threshold" setting.

For non English languages, it is probably wise to lower it if the results are poor. This will make "green" words/letters easier to achieve and 5 yellow stars easier to get.
