See it in use
Vibe-coded useful language activity for presenting academic infographics. This activity uses laptops' in-built voice capability as students listen to the target language in a 'highlighting task', clicking only when it is the relevant language, then they must type what they hear, receiving a score at the end. The mistakes are then displayed to them and they retype them in a 'test teach test' style followed by practice – they then interact with an AI speech coach.
