Useful Web Tool For Language Teaching: Voki

VOKI

   

 Voki is a tool for teaching and learning. It offers a variety of content to students and teachers in many branches. With this tool, you can create your own characters and make it speak by typing texts. 

 I'm going to talk about language learning. 

 Speaking and accent is one of the most difficult points that the language learners have. The reason for this is actually that students are afraid of their teachers or the people around them.  With this tool, students feel less pressure because they are able to make the characters they have created voice a text that they read with their own voices. So that they will be more relaxed while learning.

 There are thousands of different characters in Voki. By using the characters from their students' favourite stories, teachers can easily draw the attention of their students' to the lesson. So that students can both enjoy the lesson and improve themselves.

 There are many sections for you to create and design your avatar. You can arrange your character's nationality, weight, hair, hair colour, skin colour, clothes, jewellery's and even make up. You can also decide the background of the character.

Tips for Creating Characters

Tip #1: Know Your Students 

 Creating an avatar is very easy. The main thing is to know what kind of character to create. I recommend you to decide according to your students age range. So that, you can create the character that can attract your students' attention in the best way.

Tip #2: Choose the Right Colours

 Colours are also one of the factors that affect students' attention. While choosing colours for your avatar, avoid choosing flamboyant colours. It can definitely distract your students' attention. It actually depends on the age range of your students. If your students are not young, colours won't affect them much.
