01 / PRACTICE
Pronunciation Practice Page
Practice pronunciation with phonemes, words, and sentences. After practice, you can check pronunciation scores and feedback as learning aid information.
DORS.AI PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE
Practice pronunciation and turn results into next steps
DORS.AI includes phoneme pronunciation practice, pronunciation scores and feedback, and practice for specific pronunciation challenges.
Speaking is not a practice entry point. It is a data center that organizes practice history so you can review pronunciation weaknesses and recent changes.
WHAT THIS PAGE EXPLAINS
Roles of Pronunciation Practice and Speaking
Pronunciation Practice is where you actually speak and receive results and feedback. Speaking is where you review that history to decide which sounds and words to practice again.
02 / SPEAKING
Speaking Data Center
Collects pronunciation practice history, showing an overall summary, per-element past performance, and recent changes. From here, you find weaknesses and connect them to your next practice and learning plan.
FROM PRACTICE TO INSIGHT
From a single practice to the next focus
Pronunciation practice results don't end with a single score. As history accumulates, it connects to information you can review in Speaking and to your next actions.
Practice
Speak phonemes, words, and sentences aloud, and check pronunciation scores and feedback.
History accumulates
Individual pronunciation practice results accumulate as pronunciation practice history.
Review in Speaking
Check the overall summary, per-element past performance, and recent changes.
Next steps
Find weak words and sounds, and connect them to related practice or pronunciation tasks in your Personalized Learning Plan.
THREE LEVELS OF PRACTICE
Pronunciation across phonemes, words, and sentences
Pronunciation is practiced not only with individual sounds, but also within words and sentences. Using Speaking's history makes it easier to organize which granularity to focus on.
Find weak sounds
Identify weak phonemes and practice them together with words that contain those sounds.
Review commonly mistaken words
Find weak words from practice history and work on practice for commonly mistaken words.
Practice sentence pronunciation
In the Personalized Learning Plan, sentence pronunciation tasks may be included depending on the situation.
WHAT YOU CAN SEE
What you can review in Speaking
- Overall summary of pronunciation practice and recent changes
- Per-element past performance for phonemes, words, sentences, etc.
- Statistics such as per-element past averages, recent performance, and practice counts
- Clues for identifying weak words and sounds to practice again
Displayed items may vary depending on practice history and screen. You use the information confirmed here to choose your next practice.
FROM SPEAKING TO PLAN
Pronunciation history into your Personalized Learning Plan
Speaking data serves as the basis for pronunciation tasks in your Personalized Learning Plan. Weak words, weak sounds, and sentence pronunciation challenges found from practice history become candidates for what to work on next.
In other words, speaking aloud on the practice page and reviewing history in Speaking have different roles. Connecting both makes it easier to move pronunciation practice into your next action.
Practice → History → Speaking → Weakness practice
The Personalized Learning Plan may include tasks for commonly mistaken words, weak phonemes, and sentence pronunciation. See Personalized Learning Plan for the full picture.
