Join your class and see what is assigned
Students usually start from an instructor invite, class code, or school account path. Once you are in, your class workspace shows assigned speaking activities and the status of your work.
- See open, upcoming, overdue, completed, and needs-submission activities.
- Check due dates and availability before you start.
- Open the activity details so you know the goal before speaking.
Prepare before you speak
A speaking activity gives you the situation, target language, expected time, learning goals, and any instructor notes or tips. The point is not to guess what the teacher wants. It is to know the role, purpose, and kind of language you should try.
- Read the scenario and what you are trying to accomplish.
- Look for helpful phrases, vocabulary, or instructor guidance.
- Use the setup as a warmup before the live conversation begins.
Talk it through with an AI partner
When you start, ChitterChatter gives you a conversation partner for the assigned scenario. The partner listens, responds, asks follow-up questions, and keeps the exchange moving so you can practice more than a one-line answer.
- Speak out loud from your phone, tablet, or laptop browser.
- Use the activity as a lower-pressure place to try the language.
- Practice again when your assignment settings allow another attempt.
Use feedback before the next attempt
After a session, review the feedback while the conversation is still fresh. Look for one or two things to improve: a phrase you needed, a repeated mistake, or a place where you stopped understanding the exchange.
- Review strengths, suggested fixes, useful phrases, and transcript notes.
- Use audio and transcript review when available to hear what happened.
- Choose a completed session to submit when manual submission is required.
What your instructor can see
Your instructor can review participation, completion, feedback, transcripts, audio recordings, and class patterns when those details are part of the assigned workflow. ChitterChatter does not give students official ACTFL scores.
Questions learners usually ask first
How does ChitterChatter work for students?
Students join a class, open assigned speaking activities, practice out loud with an AI conversation partner, review feedback, and submit completed attempts when their instructor requires it.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ChitterChatter runs in a modern browser on phones, tablets, and laptops. You need microphone access and a place where you can speak.
Can I practice more than once before submitting?
When an assignment allows repeat practice, you can complete more than one attempt and choose a completed session to submit.
What feedback do students get?
After a session, students can review strengths, suggested fixes, useful phrases, and a transcript while the conversation is still fresh.
Does ChitterChatter give students ACTFL scores?
No. Students do not receive official ACTFL scores from ChitterChatter. Any proficiency-oriented signals are practice context for instructors, not certification results.
