Nualang helps students improve their language skills, especially in areas that need personal attention, like pronunciation! With Nualang, students practice key words and phrases from each chapter, benefiting from plenty of scaffolded practice.
They can listen to their own recordings, hear the language spoken in different voices and speeds, check their scores, and try again to improve.
The best part? With the freedom to practice anytime, anywhere, students can build confidence in speaking by receiving feedback from Nualas, all in a stress-free environment.
-
Characters come to life in chatbots, recreating scenes from each chapter. This gives students the chance to listen, speak, and engage with key ideas from the course.
An open-ended chat feature encourages students to answer comprehension questions about the chapter, then expands the conversation to include more personalized questions. These interactive exercises make learning fun and motivate learners to converse—a lot! -
Our Nuala chatbots are eager to chat with students! Some Nualas come with built-in courses, while others offer an open canvas, letting you create your own interactive conversations. With personalized support and instant feedback, Nualas help students develop their skills—even when teacher time is limited.
-
Students can save their answers to open-ended activities, allowing teachers to gain valuable insights through individual student analysis and classroom heat maps that show the overall progress of the class.
-
Tailor language learning to fit your needs and preferences. With customizable and auto-generated content like roleplay exercises and chatbot conversations, your students engage with topics that they love while receiving instant feedback as they practice.
