Overview

Speakable runs language proficiency as a measured programme rather than a set of assignments. Benchmarks establish where every student is, targeted practice follows with instant AI feedback, secure assessment scores against rubrics automatically, and student portfolios track growth over time across 40-plus languages.

Benchmarking every student is the part that changes what a programme can do. World language and EL teachers normally work from an impression of where a class sits, because measuring speaking proficiency individually takes time nobody has, and a portfolio that follows a student across years is the evidence a district actually needs to show growth.

It integrates with existing LMS platforms, generates activities, rubrics, audio and images, and reports 2,500-plus districts. Starting is free but no pricing figures appear. Automated proficiency scoring encodes one view of what proficiency sounds like, speech assessment is harder on accented and non-standard speech, and benchmarking a whole district is a change management exercise before it is a software one.
