Vocaroo.com
Vocaroo.com is a website that allows users to record and share audio messages. It is a simple and user-friendly tool that does not require any registration or login. The website is completely free and does not limit the length or number of recordings. To use Vocaroo.com, students simply need to click on the 'record' button and start speaking. They can then share their recordings via a unique link, which can be sent via email, chat, or social media.
Vocaroo.com is an ideal tool for speaking practice, as it allows students to focus solely on their speaking skills without any distractions. It is particularly useful for practising fluency and pronunciation, as students can listen to their own recordings and identify areas that need improvement. I often use Vocaroo.com to provide my students with speaking prompts, such as describing a picture, discussing a current event, or giving an opinion on a controversial issue. By recording their responses, students can develop their speaking skills in a way that is both interactive and personalised.
Transkriptor.com

| Transkriptor makes it easy to edit IELTS student responses, including natural pauses and hesitations. |
Transkriptor.com is an invaluable tool for assessing students' speaking skills, as it allows me to identify areas where they may be struggling. For example, I can use Transkriptor.com to analyse students' use of grammar and vocabulary, as well as their ability to organise their ideas coherently. By providing detailed feedback on their speaking performance, I can help my students to improve their overall band score in the IELTS exam.
Why using these two sites?
One of the advantages of using these two websites together is that they provide a seamless and integrated learning experience. Students can use Vocaroo.com to practise their speaking skills and then upload their recordings to Transkriptor.com for assessment. By receiving personalised feedback on their performance, students can identify areas that need improvement and work towards achieving their desired band score.In addition to their practical applications, Vocaroo.com and Transkriptor.com are also fun and engaging tools that can make learning more enjoyable. Students often find the experience of recording their own voice and hearing it played back to be an interesting and engaging way to develop their speaking skills. The ability to share their recordings with classmates or friends can also provide a sense of community and support, which can be particularly valuable for learners who may be studying on their own.
***
In conclusion, Vocaroo.com and Transkriptor.com are two websites that have become essential tools for me as an IELTS teacher. By providing a platform for speaking practice and assessment, these websites have helped me to create a more engaging and interactive learning experience for my students. I would highly recommend these websites to any teacher or student who is looking for an innovative and effective way to improve their speaking skills.

Kayaknya 2 website ini juga bisa untuk dipakai pribadi ya, Mbak? Misalnya dipakai anak saya untuk belajar sendiri. Menarik websitenya, nih.
ReplyDeleteAs a student, can both applications suggested by miss Tya be used more effective independently? Or used by professionals only?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! As a student and a teacher myself, I've found both Vocaroo and Transkripto to be really helpful tools for recording and transcribing audio content. I think they could be useful for a variety of purposes, whether you're a student or a professional.
DeleteFor example, Vocaroo can be great for leaving quick voice messages or recording spoken notes, while Transkripto can be useful for transcribing interviews or lectures. So I definitely think both of these tools could be used effectively by students, professionals, or anyone who needs to work with audio content.
I haven't learned about IELTS at all. I think it's necessary to continue master degree on abroad.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recommendations, I will try later Miss Tya
It's great to hear that you're considering pursuing a master's degree abroad, and I'm glad that the these two sites can be helpful to you.
DeleteThe IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a widely recognized test of English proficiency that is often required for admission to universities in English-speaking countries. Depending on the university and the program you're interested in, you may also be required to take other standardized tests, such as the GRE or GMAT. It's definitely important to do your research and make sure you understand all the requirements and deadlines for the programs you're interested in.
That being said, pursuing a master's degree abroad can be an incredibly rewarding experience, both academically and personally. Best of luck in your studies and future endeavors!
Waa, I'm gonna ask my son to try these websites to improve his speaking skills at home.
