Voki

Voki is a powerful teaching language tool. It lets users create their own avatars, adding them a voice. It is a very interesting tool to motivate students because it can be used by the teacher and also by themselves.


I have proposed a post-reading task with this application that tries to combine listening, writing and speaking skills. Therefore, in a 'reading lesson' all the skills will be worked together. The development of the activity is after reading the whole story, students will have to listen to the following vokis, they are disguised because students have to recognized which characters they are. After listening to them, the first part of the activity will be developed orally, they have to guess which character is each voki. The next part will be writing why these characters ran away and how they feel now.


This is one of the vokis:
