Record Audio Editor

Use Record Audio when students should practice speaking a word or phrase. This question type is for pronunciation and oral production, so it is not automatically graded.

Record audio question editor with pronunciation prompt and recording preview

Build a Record Audio Question

1. Write the Prompt

Use the rich text Question editor for the word, phrase, or instruction students should speak.

Example: "Say Aaniin."

Link the phrase to a translation when students should be able to tap for help before recording.

2. Add Context if Needed

Insert an image or extra instructions if students need cultural, visual, or situational context before speaking.

3. Review the Preview

Students see the prompt and a recording control. They record their spoken answer and submit it with the lesson.

Grading

Record Audio questions are excluded from automatic lesson scoring. Review them manually in Submission Review, where you can listen to the student's recording and provide feedback.

IMPORTANT

Record Audio questions are the main place to assess pronunciation. Review these submissions and provide personalized feedback when possible.

What Must Be Complete

Before publishing, the editor checks:

  • Prompt text is present.
  • Prompt translations are linked when prompt translations are enabled.

Best Practices

  • Keep the spoken target short for early learners.
  • Use clear prompt text such as "Say this word" or "Record this phrase."
  • Add audio to the related translation record when students should hear a model before recording.
  • Pair audio practice with earlier recognition or recall questions in the same lesson.
