Elsa Speak Discription

ELSA’s basic is simple and provides navigation between topics and skills, levels, reports, and other features. Users can set a display language (English, Indonesian, or Japanese-good indicators of the target audience for this app). Depending on the proficiency level of the user, the skills include exercises such as beginning and ending sounds, minimal pairs, schwa, th-sounds, and consonant clusters. Applied linguists typically refer to these as phonemes individual sounds within a word. The topics include food, entertainment, technology, culture, daily conversations, and relationships, among many others. Figure 1 demonstrates the default skills-based page, which appears after the user chooses their proficiency level. After selecting a skill (e.g., “/S/ /SH/”as shown in figure 2), they can select a topic, under which they can choose from several lessons. Each lesson is labeled for proficiency level and includes various speaking and listening opportunities. Figure 3 illustrates an exercise at the regular level with the target sound underlined. ELSA also teaches you how to pronounce common idioms, expressions, daily conversations in English, and even cheesy pick-up lines.
