Is it a good fit for your task?
Choose it when…
Focused English pronunciation rehearsal with an educator’s support.
Consider another approach when…
Erasing a learner’s accent or deciding whether someone is a competent communicator from a score.
A practical first workflow
Practice a small set of presentation words, then use them in an original spoken sentence.
Have this ready
Use an approved account with the required lessons available; prepare three relevant words and check microphone quality.
- Choose a pronunciation lesson related to a target sound, or look up a target word in ELSA’s dictionary practice.
- Listen to the model pronunciation and notice the target sound or stress.
- Record your own attempt and inspect the sound-level feedback.
- Repeat the word after one deliberate adjustment, without repeatedly chasing a perfect score.
- Use the word in an original spoken sentence and ask a teacher or partner whether the meaning is clear.
You’ll have: Pronunciation attempts with automated feedback and a short sentence connecting practice to communication.
Try this example
Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.
Practice words for a science presentation: energy, temperature, measurement. After word practice, say: “We measured the temperature before adding energy to the water.”
Check your result before sharing
Consider microphone errors, accent variation and intelligibility. Check disputed feedback with a teacher rather than treating the score as a judgement of the speaker.
Treat scores as automated practice signals, not accent judgements, diagnoses or official proficiency results.
Other activities to explore
- Practice a word or sound before using it in a presentation.
- Compare recorded speech with a model and feedback.

This workflow is an editorial suggestion based on documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim of learning gains. Check school approval, current pricing, and student account eligibility before a classroom rollout. Use public or permitted samples and keep identifiable student information out of unapproved services.
