Give Every Student
The Speaking Practice Class Time Can't.
AI-powered speaking practice that fits your curriculum, so every student in your class gets time to talk.
Free for instructors. Unlimited activity creation. No credit card.
How many minutes a week does each student actually speak the language?
Reading, writing, and listening can be practiced alone. Speaking has always needed a partner, and class time rarely gives every student enough.
Set up your classDesign. Assign. Review.
Build a speaking activity or pick one from the library, assign it to your class, and review what each student did.
Build a scenario, or pull one from the library.
Describe a unit goal, like a market in Madrid, a job interview, or a doctor's visit, and AI drafts the activity for you. Or pick from the library of pre-built scenarios. Either way, it's ready for your roster in minutes.
Real back-and-forth conversations, on their own time.
Each student opens the activity, talks through it out loud, and gets a partner that adapts to their level. No scheduling. No waiting for the next class period.
See who practiced, what they said, and where to step in.
Dashboards show participation, time-on-task, and per-skill performance. Pull up any annotated transcript or audio when you want to dig deeper.

Built to accommodate how you teach.
Three principles behind every session your students do.
Meets each student at their level.
Conversations stay one step past what each learner already knows. That is the i+1 principle from second-language acquisition research.
ACTFL-aligned practice and feedback.
Per-skill breakdowns map to ACTFL proficiency standards, the field's shared language for measuring speaking. You can also set your own feedback dimensions for any activity you build.
Based on Cornell research.
Designed by researchers and language teachers, drawing on language-learning research from Cornell.
Your students' next conversation is waiting
Design your own scenarios to fit your curriculum or browse the library. Your students can practice as often as they want.

When speaking moves outside of class.
Class is no longer the only time students get to practice.
Quiet students start speaking.
Low-stakes practice gives them a place to try things before class.
Every student gets practice.
Speaking time stops being scarce. It scales with the class.
Class becomes time for feedback.
Students arrive having already spoken, so class focuses on responding to what they did.
Each level meets each student.
Beginners and advanced learners both get conversations sized to them.
You see what was guesswork.
Dashboards and transcripts replace estimates of who is getting it.
ACTFL gains you can point to.
Speaking proficiency you can measure semester over semester.
Feedback for them. Visibility for you.
Every session ends with a clear report for each student, and a clearer picture of your class than class time alone can give you.

Short answers before you set up your class.
Is it really free for educators?
Yes. Instructor accounts are free, with unlimited activity creation, class dashboards, and feedback review. No credit card required.
How do my students access ChitterChatter?
You invite them with a link or code. Students join your class, see the activities you've assigned, and start practicing, with no separate accounts to wrangle.
Will it fit my curriculum?
It's designed to. Build scenarios that match your unit goals using AI assist, or browse our library for ready-made activities mapped to common course themes.
How are scenarios pedagogically grounded?
Activities are designed by language teachers and applied linguists, drawing on Cornell research. Conversations stay one step past what students already know, following the i+1 principle from second-language acquisition research.
Can students get feedback I haven't reviewed?
Yes. Each student gets immediate feedback after a session, covering strengths, fixes, suggested phrases, and an AI coach for follow-up questions. You can step in when you want, but they're never waiting.
Can students build their own practice activities?
Yes. Alongside the activities you assign, students can spin up their own AI-built scenarios when they want to rehearse something specific. Anything they build stays in their own practice space.
Is student data private?
Student conversations stay in ChitterChatter for class practice and review. ChitterChatter does not sell or license student audio, use it for advertising, or use it to train public models. Service providers process data only as needed to provide the service.
Does it work on student phones?
Yes. ChitterChatter runs in the browser on phone, tablet, and desktop, so students can practice wherever they have a quiet moment.
Which languages do you support?
