The rise in language learning and testing technology over the past several years has reshaped education and democratized learning, making language learning solutions more accessible to students than ever before. This has led to an era of student choice and intense competition as demand for remote and online learning continues to grow with the increased adoption of smart devices and online users.

The pandemic forced schools to operate remotely, which increased the use of language learning applications and online learning. Similarly, test and test prep providers started investing in technology for individualized, remote learning, as well as data-driven, real-time training with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities.

English language teachers and trainers can capitalize on the growing demand for advanced technology and online learning by using ApplyShop vouchers to improve the student experience and outcomes for English language proficiency tests such as the PTE, TOEFL, and IELTS.

Maximizing student success and enhancing the student experience with technology doesn’t have to be expensive. Using academic and English language proficiency vouchers, you can optimize costs for higher quality language training and access significant discounts to set your business apart.

Real-time, AI generated feedback

Language trainers can use technology to capitalize on the demand for independent learning and time away from students (such as homework assignments) by providing them with real-time feedback on their pronunciation and speaking skills. This can help your students progress faster in their language learning and significantly improve their outcomes, both at school and work.

Real-time feedback and accent coaching allow students to identify and correct errors as they practice by providing immediate and specific guidance on their pronunciation and intonation. This can lead to more efficient and effective language learning, as well as improved confidence and fluency, which can be beneficial for communication, social interactions, as well as professional advancement.

With ApplyShop's BoldVoice vouchers you can offer your students advanced accent coaching technology with real-time, AI generated feedback at more affordable prices. This can help improve student success on the speaking section of language proficiency tests including PTE, TOEFL, and IELTS as well as boost their confidence for other study abroad requirements such as the Canadian Student Visa Interview, the US F-1 Visa Interview, or the UK Credibility Interview.

BoldVoice is a mobile application that helps non-native English speakers rapidly improve their pronunciation with Hollywood accent coaches and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated feedback as they practice.

Based on the founders' personal experience, BoldVoice was created in an effort to overcome unjust barriers and systemic bias faced by non-native English speakers, including wage, hiring, and funding disparities. Speaking to BuiltIn, co-founder Lakra noted, “What we’re building is something that gives more people access and makes, hopefully, the world a place where people from all types of linguistic backgrounds and all types of financial backgrounds can have more equal access to opportunities.”

The BoldVoice application has four native languages represented, including Hindi, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Persian native speakers. It also helps track student progress by providing a detailed assessment of pronunciation strengths and areas for improvement

Online Courses

Online learning gives students more choice and flexibility with hundreds of courses that they can access remotely from the comfort of their homes. Recent data shows that as many as 70% of students agree that online classes are better than traditional learning and E-learning can help students retain between 25% and 60% more information.

They are also more accessible for students with mobility or other issues that make it difficult to attend in-person classes. Online assessments can be used to track student performance and engagement to help teachers identify and prioritize teaching strategies and topics.

Students can access materials and resources from anywhere with an internet connection including practice tests, sample questions, and interactive exercises, and get immediate feedback on how they scored compared to other test takers.
