How to Use SpeakUp — Speaking Practice

SpeakUp is where you practice speaking Vietnamese out loud. Recording yourself is one of the best ways to improve pronunciation and build fluency.

Getting Started

1. Log in and go to /speakup from your dashboard or menu.
2. You will see a list of speaking prompts (also called threads).
3. Each prompt has a topic, instructions, and a due date (if applicable).

Types of Speaking Prompts

Recording Your Response

1. Open a speaking prompt.
2. Read the instructions carefully.
3. When you are ready, click the Record button.
4. Speak clearly into your microphone.
5. Click Stop when you are finished.
6. Listen to your recording. If you are not happy, you can re-record.
7. Click Submit to send your response.

✅ Result: Your recording is submitted. Your teacher will review and grade it (for assignments).

Checking Due Dates

⚠️ Important: Some assignments have deadlines. Check the due date shown on each prompt. Late submissions may not be accepted.

Viewing Your Scores

1. After your teacher grades your submission, go back to the prompt.
2. Your score and feedback will be displayed.
3. Use the feedback to improve for next time.

Tips for Better Speaking

💡 Tip: Practice the prompt out loud a few times before you hit Record. This helps you sound more natural.

💡 Tip: Find a quiet place to record. Background noise makes it harder for your teacher to hear you.

💡 Tip: Do not worry about being perfect. The goal is to practice. Every recording makes you a little better.

Your voice is your strongest learning tool. Use it!
