Problem
University language students often lack opportunities for authentic conversational practice, hindering their fluency and confidence. Traditional language courses may not provide sufficient real-time interaction with native speakers, limiting practical application of learned concepts. This can result in students who can read and write in a language but struggle to speak and understand it in real-world scenarios.
Solution
Conversifi is a language learning platform that connects university students with native-speaking peers for live, authentic conversations via video chat. Instructors can select from a library of conversation guides that align with textbooks and OER materials, ensuring sessions are appropriately leveled and relevant to course content. The platform facilitates personalized feedback between learners and coaches after each session. Sessions are recorded, allowing learners to review their progress and instructors to more easily assess oral proficiency.
