My school encourages reading aloud. Junior student has an English activity passport and they can get credits by completing various tasks, such as reading aloud. Therefore, read aloud is something that students in my school are familiar with.
Fluency tutor is definitely a must-try for me. As mentioned, reading aloud is no stranger to students. Instead of doing it face to face, a digital way will be a 'fresh' and interesting format. I just worry that they may take it too seriously and spent too much time recording the perfect one.
Because I have a big class, I don't think I will ask all of them to complete Fluency Tutor at the same time. I won't have time to listen to all and grade them. Asking 5-8 of them each time is more manageable for me.
Fluency tutor is good because students can read texts outside their books. The pre-installed texts of the website is relevant and 'understandable'. I hope students will enjoy reading something not from their textbook/ SCMP (they complain there are too many words)
Fluency tutor is good. I just wonder if English Builder (by Wiseman) gets the same function or not. I shall check.
Audacity is a handy tool. I use it often for editing listening files. I havent tried adding special effects though. Listening exam doesnt need gimmicks :)
The poem that I have recorded during the lesson wasnt read in a good way. It was all done in a hurry. I am looking forward to making a digital story with it next time.
