Practice oral assessment skills before the high-stakes moment
Everything you need to make
oral practice routine
With Oral Practice you can
Practice with AI, or with peers
Students rehearse with our academic AI agent or with a peer, so meaningful practice no longer depends on tutor availability or who they happen to sit next to.
Keep practice private, but tracked
Instructors see who completed their practice, never what was said. Rehearsal stays a safe space while participation stays visible.
Give students unlimited attempts
There is no cap on how often students practice. Confidence builds through repetition, not a single rehearsal slot.
Use Interaction Coach
Real-time talking points nudge students to go deeper, so practice sessions push past surface-level answers.
Start from submitted work, or an open topic
Students discuss a draft, or practice a skill with nothing submitted, so practice fits any point in the course.
Run it in your LMS, on any device
No external tools, room bookings, or file transfers. Students practice where they already work.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Oral Practice and Oral Assessment?
Oral Practice is a low stakes, formative space for students to rehearse oral skills before a graded moment, not a graded assessment itself. Learn more here
Who do students practice with in Oral Practice?
Students have a live, adaptive conversation, either with Acai, our academic AI, acting as a conversation partner, or with one peer, one on one. Learn more here
Can students practice more than once?
Yes. Faculty configure the scenario, topic, and criteria once, and students can return for as many practice rounds as they need, since re-attempts are unlimited. Learn more here
Are Oral Practice sessions recorded?
Yes. Sessions are recorded, but recordings stay private to the student. Instructors can see that a session took place, but never the recording or transcript itself. The goal is to help them become confident with the skill and prepare them for any future summative oral assessment. Learn more here
Do instructors receive grades or reports from Oral Practice sessions?
Not in the traditional sense. Oral Practice is fully formative, so there is no summative grading, the only assigned grading is on completion. Learn more here
