Public speaking can be unnerving to even well-spoken conversationalists, not to mention students who are still developing their speaking skills at school.

For many, public speaking creates symptoms such as cold sweats and shaking, things that ruin their entire performance even when they practiced hard for it. However, there is no reason why this should be so challenging.

Some people are born to speak in front of others and do it easily, but the truth is, anyone can learn at least the basic public speaking skills and gain some confidence in the process. As a teacher, it is your job to aid the transition for the students, and not just those who are talented in public speaking.

With the help of technology, this is now more than possible. Different public speaking tools can make teaching and training of public speaking more entertaining than ever and facilitate the learning. To help you make the process smoother, I've gathered a list of 15 public speaking apps you can use to overcome your students' fear of public speaking. Here you go:

15 Public speaking apps for students

The art of public speaking is to speak fluently, without filler words and to be able to engage the audience. Of course, that's easier said than done. Maybe these apps will help you students develop a love for public speaking. Use these apps in your public speaking courses and everything will be just fine.

Free - Students will love learning from each other and using this kind of connecting tool can make public speaking much easier for them. When you gather friends to talk about the same topics, they can learn from each other's techniques, give each other public speaking tips, prepare, and even compete for the next public speaking tournament. Free webinar tools such as Zoom.us can make this possible in real time, combining web audio and screen sharing. It's always easier to ask feedback on your speaking performances to fellow students than to your mirror reflection.

2. Teleprompter apps - PromptSmart

$$ - Taking notes and using them during a speech can make everything messy and confuse the speaker, especially if they have little experience in public speaking. If you notice that your students get easily distracted from the note cards they are using, encourage them to use a prompting app. There are a lot of free teleprompter apps, but PromptSmart is a very good one for IOS. Unfortunately, this one, isn't free. Students can also use a teleprompter to practice the right speed of speaking.

$ - Speaking and presenting something in front of others can be a daunting task for a student. However, they need to be prepared for such speaking when they finish school and tools like this one can help them achieve this. This app is specifically created to make the process simple and is often used by students in the classroom. The HiveBrain app presents you with a guided meditation and self-hypnosis program that will help you relax and minimize the anxiety of speaking in front of crowds.

$ - It's very important for students to speech on time. Most of the time, public events or classroom courses have time restrictions and other speakers will have to perform after your speech. The Speaker Clock app is a speaker timer that presents the time to the speaker and thus allows teachers and students to keep track of their timing.

Free - Six Minutes will provide you with excellent advice on what to teach the children and how to teach them. Visit this public speaking website to learn about PowerPoint presentation tricks, as well as speech delivery techniques you can teach your students.

Free - Students will feel more and more comfortable to speak if they have some backup in the process. In addition to notes, use the Prezi tool in the classroom for some visual aid. The tool can be set to help the speech process by going simultaneously with the things students are talking about.

$$ - By using Explain Everything, you can share ideas and thoughts with your students in real time. This app allows you to transform the learning of your students by creating presentations that include audio recordings, video and text. This particular tool lets you engage the students by allowing them to create their own presentations and tutorials. A change in roles in the classroom will be refreshing for both you and your students. Maybe telling a story with an app and recoring it is less daunting then speaking in front of the classroom at that particular moment?

Free - The Pecha-Kucha app is a refreshing and unique app that allows people to network and show their work to others. In Japanese this means 'chatter'. If you believe that the traditional PowerPoint speeches tend to annoy your students if used often, this presentation style might just be the perfect alternative for you to use in the classroom. Here is how it works: the student creates an exact number of 20 slides which only appear for 20 seconds each. This system provides the student with a time constraint without the need of trackers.

$ - Students love using this flexible and fun app. They can use it to gather ideas for their presentations and speeches, as well as organize the data into concise talking points. Popplet will also allow them to organize the speech in images, text and illustrations.

$ - Ummo will listen to the speech of your students and highlight their filler words. This will help them prepare and improve the speech without having to tape themselves and then listen to it dozens of time. Filler words are the enemy of even the best speakers in your class, which means that your students will surely appreciate this app.

Free - Pro Metronome is another practice tool for speeches. It finds those filler words and helps the user create the perfect pace for the separate sections of their presentation. This is an app for everyone. It is very simple for use and highly intuitive and will certainly add your students in learning how to increase the credibility and present their ideas.

Free - To be a good speaker, a student must have a rich vocabulary. Otherwise, they won't be able to present in a timely manner and of course, they won't sound as great as you want them to. PowerVocab is a game you can give your students for some vocabulary practice. Playing against the clock and others will not only be a fun experience, but will also prepare them for public speaking.

Free - English is not your students' first language? Don't worry that this will show in their public speaking. With apps such as Orai, your students can now get instant feedback on their clarity, vocal energy and use of filler words. In addition, Orai has vocal exercises that will improve and train the speaking habits if done often. A real speech coach app, you'd say.

$ - LikeSo is a mobile app that uses voice-recognition to check the pacing and wording of users while they are speaking. Share this app with your students and allow them to learn from the highly comprehensible and easy app. The app will award a certain score such as 'A+' to 'uh-oh' and improve their oratory skills. Technology can significantly aid teaching and learning and be beneficial for both sides of the educational process. Implement these tools in your classroom and you will notice a rapid improvement in the public speaking skills of all your students.

$ - With BookWidgets you can create more than 40 intearctive exercises like quizzes and games. You can even use them to train your students' public speaking skills! Use the randomness widget as speaking exercise. Being able to improvise is a good skill when speaking in front of a crowd. When something goes wrong, your students need a plan B. Use this exercise to do so. Add images or words that students have to use in their story. Every student will have to tell a different story!

Doesn't it seem like teenagers live on technology? Literally.

It's almost as if their phones and tablets are an extension of them.

Whether you're an ESL instructor working with a bunch of teenage English language learners, or you're teaching English to first-language students, it's important you join the technological revolution.

Why? Because teenage learners are digital natives, and technology is their language.

Unlike past generations which grew up alongside technology, today's generation has been born into a high-tech society. There wasn't ever a time when today's teens were without the internet.

In other words, technology and the internet run virtually every aspect of their lives.

Nevertheless, most schools continue to use traditional methods focusing on the use of print materials while restricting, if not banning, technology from the classroom altogether. This limits the possibility of utilizing smartphones, tablets and relevant apps in a meaningful way.

Today, we're going to look at how high school teachers can embrace various apps and use them to as tools for enhancing their lessons.

Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere.Click here to get a copy. (Download)

Your computer and smartphone apps are great resources for facilitating the delivery of content and planning of classes. They can be used as part of class projects, research tools or as supplemental activities for regular classwork.

By integrating apps into your lessons, you can explore new opportunities to connect with and engage your students, as well as enhance the overall learning experience. And we already know that teens love being on their phones. Might as well turn that infatuation into teachable moments.

But there are so many apps out there, where do you start?

Read on to see our six favorite apps and how you can use them in your English lessons in a way that excites and engages your high school learners.

Available for iOS and Android

Why it's the app for you: Are you an ESL teacher looking for exciting, new ways to connect with your students? If so, FluentU is the right app for your classroom.

FluentU offers the perfect blend of pop culture and curriculum by using real-world material to teach English to second language speakers. Instead of drilling vocabulary words and grammar rules, you're able to help students improve their English through popular songs, clips from English movies and TV series, commercials, news articles and more.

If you're looking for creative ways to teach English, then you'll love using FluentU in your classroom! FluentU takes real-world videos-like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks-and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

It's got a huge collection of authentic English videos that people in the English-speaking world actually watch regularly. There are tons of great choices there when you're looking for songs for in-class activities.

You'll find music videos, musical numbers from cinema and theater, kids' singalongs, commercial jingles and much, much more.

On FluentU, all the videos are sorted by skill level and are carefully annotated for students.

Words come with example sentences and definitions. Students will be able to add them to their own vocabulary lists, and even see how the words are used in other videos.

For example, if a student taps on the word "searching," they'll see this:

Plus, these great videos are all accompanied by interactive features and active learning tools for students, like multimedia flashcards and fun games like "fill in the blank."

It's perfect for in-class activities, group projects and solo homework assignments. Not to mention, it's guaranteed to get your students excited about learning English!

Sign up for a free trial and bring FluentU to your classroom today.

My Story

Available for iOS and Android

Why it's relevant: This app allows students to create simple short stories on their phones and tablets using pre-loaded images and scenery.

While it's intended for younger students, this app can be extended to all high school students just starting to learn how to make simple English sentences. This makes My Story an excellent teaching aid for all ESL teachers.

What's more, you can also use this app tocreate short stories designed to introduce specific vocabulary or grammar points. For example, if you want to teach animals, you can create a story about a farmer and his livestock.

What's great about this app is that it provides an opportunity for students to experience creative writing in a very safe environment.

Putting it to use: Have your students create their own personal short stories using this app. All you need to do is provide them with a topic or a set of vocabulary words to include in the story, then let them do the rest. For example, you could use anything from the rooms in a house, random action verbs or any other set of words related to the topics covered in class.

For advanced learners, try providing phrases or idioms for learners to include in their stories. You'd be surprised how your five or six words can inspire students to produce a 100 to 150-word story.

On one occasion, my students had three keywords: alien, spaceship and planet. From that, they created a 100-word story about space following a short story covered in class. Their results were recorded in PDF format and then uploaded to our school's Facebook page.

Writing Prompts

Available for iOS and Android

Why it's great: While the iOS and Android apps are made by different developers, they both provide the same function: generating writing prompts. What's more, the Writing Prompts app is excellent for getting native and second-language students to practice their writing, making it easier for them to express themselves on paper-a skill all high school students need to master before graduating.

Putting it to use: Use the app to generate one or more writing prompts for your students. Then, give them time to complete their stories. At the end of the lesson, have each student share their story with the class. Or, if you want to really get creative, use the generated writing prompts to create role-playing scripts for your students to act out-that way, you can have them practice their writing and speaking skills.

SurveyMonkey

Available for Desktop, iOS and Android

Why it's useful: Looking for an innovative app that can enhance English lessons for native and ESL teachers? Look no further than SurveyMonkey!

SurveyMonkey is a tool used for creating surveys and even customer feedback. It can also be used to conduct classroom polls, or even get student feedback on the topics and exercises they've seen in class.

Furthermore, SurveyMonkey can be used to gather information on topics students might be interested in seeing in class. And it's always useful to know what your students are currently interested in so that you can develop exciting, relevant content that supplements your usual classwork.

Putting it to use: Use this app to gather information about your students. I like to give them a short survey asking the following questions:

What do you like about the class?

What topics interest you the most?

What would you like to change?

Students are then asked to answer these three questions based on their experience and expectations for the class. As a result, your learners get to practice their writing skills while providing you with a wealth of feedback you can use to enhance future lessons.

I used this activity following a reading comprehension exercise. I soon learned that my students actually liked the reading activity and wanted me to include more exercises like it in future lessons!

It was a pleasant surprise to see students actually enjoying reading tasks.

Project Gutenberg

Available for Desktop, iOS and Android

Why it's in: Project Gutenberg is not an app in the traditional sense, but rather a digital library filled with 50,000 free e-books. The selections range from the classics to modern works on a wide variety of topics.

What's more, each book can be downloaded and shared with students. This makes Project Gutenberg a great source for texts used as part of reading and writing assignments in ESL and native classes.

Also, the mobile app allows students to read these books on their phones or tablets. That certainly beats carrying around a heavy backpack full of books.

Putting it to use: With Project Gutenberg, you can select a text based on the various topics covered in class. From there, you can assign readings to your class and have students prepare non-traditional book reports, such as videos, PowerPoint presentations or short speeches covering the material they've read.

On one particular occasion, my students were divided into groups in which each group was assigned a classic novel from the app. Their final exam for that term was to recreate the main points of the story in a short video, which they uploaded to YouTube.

+Mindmeister

Available for Desktop, iOS and Android

Why it's neat: This app focuses on creating mind maps, which is ideal for developing visual representations of various abstract concepts. As a result, students are able to digest larger amounts of information and represent them in a much easier format.

Furthermore, teachers can use mind maps to create interactive lessons for topics wrought with details, as opposed to simply dumping information and letting students sort it out. As such, Mindmeister is perfect for all teachers looking to organize information, even non-English teachers.

Putting it to use: One way to integrate mind maps into your lessons is to use them as a presentation tool.

Assign students research topics, which they can then transform into mind maps of their own. From there, students must make out their thoughts and ideas, then present their results to the class.

This activity can be used to evaluate all four skills, especially if the source material is a listening exercise or a video.

During one history class, my students used mind maps to explain the details related to significant historical events such as the Industrial Revolution or the Discovery of America. Each student used their map to explain the events of their project.

Bringing It All Together

Technology, particularly through apps, can be used to incorporate fresh activities into traditional curriculum. Considering that teenagers live and breathe technology, integrating apps to supplement traditional content is a great way to connect with your students.

In addition, apps can be a great way for teachers to shorten class prep time and take the guesswork out of planning engaging activities.

So, what are you waiting for? Check out these apps today and turn your future lessons into a truly interactive learning experience.

Another very brilliant app to be used in a multitude of MFL settings is the next one on our list, Flippity, which allows you to transform the way you have used Google spreadsheets before.

Be it flashcards, quiz shows, random name pickers, a scavenger hunt or fun with words, to name only a few of the activities you could engage your students with with the help of this easy-to-use tool, you should definitely give this web-based app a go.

https://www.speakpipe.com/

Helpbird
Essentially, it is an all in one extension, that allows you to make the web more accessible and to also make you more productive.Helperbird provides you with features like text to speech, ad removal, dyslexia support, a dictation function, an immersive reader, overlays, an additional reader mode, and much more.

For a first introduction, please have a look at this short video that offers you a summary of its fantastic features that are all extremely useful when teaching MFL.

Wheel of Names

However, it can be used in a multitude of MFL contexts, just like most of the apps presented in the course of the last 3 weeks, and not only for turning around the names of your students as its name might suggest.

No, in fact this web-based app is a free name picker tool on top of being able to add your own images and also longer sentences, not just simple phrases or names.

Each wheel then has its own URL and windows can be positioned side by side in order to practise (larger) bits of language at the same time to build sentences.

It can easily be used in connection with other extensions to have more access to an Emoji keyboard or also a web-based drawing app, Autodraw.

You can use it as a name picker, as a means to provide students with visual prompts for speaking and writing purposes (yet another example of which to be found here),

Another great idea is to use it as a randomizer for any activity in MFL with some of the other apps mentioned in this Learning Event. Have a look at this example to get a better idea!

What is the wheel spinner for?

Every day we hear from people who use our website in new ways:

Random name picker in the classroom: pick which student will answer the next question. How to use it in the classroom

If you are a retailer, spin the wheel to pick which loyal customer will get the monthly giveaway.

When you give a presentation, use the wheel spinner to pick a lucky winner among the attendees who turned in the survey.

Random name picker at work: in your daily standup meeting at work, randomize who speaks first.

If you are overwhelmed by your to do items, put them on a wheel and spin to find which one to start with.

Lucky draw name picker at a party: put all your friends' names on the wheel and spin to pick who will go first in a game.

If you can't agree on what to have for dinner, put the alternatives on the wheel and spin.

Wheel features

We aim to provide the most flexible and easy-to-use wheel spinner on the web. All our premium features are 100% free, without any paywalls.

Rich audio library: Choose from 150+ music tracks and sound effects to set the mood, whether you need high-octane suspense or a professional, polished atmosphere. All fully licensed so you can use them in any setting.

Multi-wheel management: Handle multiple wheels on the same page, allowing for complex raffles or multi-stage games in a single session.

Weighted wheels: Use weights for entries to optionally set the size of each segment, making some outcomes more likely than others.

Millions of images: Upload your own photos or search the integrated Unsplash gallery of millions of high-resolution images to find the perfect look for your wheel.

Privacy-first storage: Save wheels to the cloud for easy access from any device, or save them locally on your machine for maximum privacy and offline control.

Authentic physics: We don't use simple random math scripts. Instead, our wheel mimics the feel of a physical spinning wheel for an authentic, professional, and statistically random result.

Built for large groups: Need to spin for thousands of names? Our wheel handles massive lists without slowing down, keeping every result 100% random. Plus, you can import your data instantly from Google Sheets.

Global localization: Access the tool in your native language. Our interface is fully localized and available in 65 languages.

Can I use the wheel in OBS or Streamlabs?

Yes! You can add the wheel as a browser source in streaming software. Go to the streaming control panel to manage the wheel for your broadcast.

Common streamer uses:

In-game challenges: Spin to pick a random handicap, like "pistol only."

Character builds: Let the wheel choose your class, skills, or starting weapon.

Viewer giveaways: Spin to randomly pick a winner from your chat.

Is the wheel truly random?

Yes, but don't just take our word for it. We are so confident in our code that we built a tool to let you prove it yourself. You can run 10,000 spins in seconds and see the results.
Run 10,000 Spins
How We Guarantee Randomness: To ensure genuinely unpredictable results, this site does not use the standard Math.random() function. Instead, the wheel's physics are driven by crypto.getRandomValues(), a specialized, high-security function built into modern web browsers. This cryptographically secure function uses high-entropy sources from your operating system, like hardware timings, mouse movements, and keyboard delays, to generate truly unpredictable results.

This secure random number isn't just used to pick a winner from a list. It's used within the physics simulation of the wheel, ensuring the outcome is genuinely random and impossible to predict.

How Come I Got the Same Result Twice? This is a great question, and it's actually a normal part of true randomness. Think of it like flipping a fair coin. It's entirely possible to get "Heads" three times in a row. Each spin of the wheel is a completely new, independent event. Past results have zero influence on the next outcome.

If you want to make sure that a winner doesn't get picked again, remove the winner after each spin by clicking the Remove button.

Is my data private?
