RendezVu has released ExamSpeak an online language learning platform. ExamSpeak prepares English language learners for their speaking exams by replicating the exam in real time.
Using ExamSpeak, students can introduce themselves to the virtual examiners, answer typical exam questions, talk to other test candidates and receive feedback on their performance. By using the ExamSpeak immersive environment, students develop their language skills by using English to answer and ask exam questions.
As in a real exam, the examiner’s questions change depending on the answers given by students.
As students interact, the system shows them their mistakes and helps them to understand their errors so that they can improve their performance. Students are awarded a score based on the respective English exam marking scheme. Points are awarded based on fluency, vocabulary, grammar, accuracy and ability to communicate.
Over time students can develop their responses to improve their test score and their ability to communicate in English and develop a deeper and more dynamic understanding of the English language, through using it in context.
