Empowering English Language Educators
Via micro-speaking exercises that can be done anytime, anywhere, Sensay helps busy, dedicated language educators instill lifelong communication skills and speaking confidence in their students.
Step 1: Educators
Educators create a speaking exercise for students in Sensay. They can ask students to read a passage, answer a question, respond to a video, or say anything they like in self-practice mode.
Step 2: Students
Students access the speaking exercise using a unique PIN code, record themselves speaking, and submit their responses.
Step 3: Sensay Scoring & Reporting
Sensay’s proprietary AI provides precision analytics on the student’s conversational skills. Sensay makes this feedback available to both the student and the educator.
