Another example is English Central which suggests a variety of short videos for
beginners, intermediate and advanced students, followed by vocabulary exercises,
including the possibility of students to practice recording themselves while reading aloud
the lines in a given conversation. Their pronunciation and work is immediately assessed,
giving students the possibility of going back to a line which went wrong or skip one if it too
difficult or irrelevant.
Although students need constant encouraging and praise at the beginning, they will
then find ways to engage in conversations and develop life-long speaking skills on
condition they are resilient and practice enough. Speaking is not something to define
clearly and develop easily, but is surely the most rewarding and used skill throughout life,
and one the now-students-future-adults are most proud of outside the classroom.
