The current version of Microsoft Reading Coach: Users and Features

 剛發現Microsoft 的Reading Coach 開放予個人用户使用,以前Microsoft Reading Coach只供學校的Teams户口使用,而在中大如果要用Teams教學,要向中央申請並提出理由,非常麻煩。後來多得簡Sir仗義幫忙,把我加入他學校的Teams,我才得以向Computer Assisted Language Learning 學員展示如何利用Reading Coach 幫助學生通過reading aloud 去改善pronunciation 。


這新版Reading Coach 還有兩個新功能,一是讓學生用內裏的AI去生成自創的Reading passage, 另外教師亦可upload 自己的passage, 不像以前只能用內置的Readworks passages, 而Reading  Coach 可以照樣assess 學生的pronunciation 。


當然Microsoft Reading Coach 仍然只能評核字的發音,其他suprasegmentals 例如intonation, weak forms, sentence stress and rhythm,  Reading Coach仍然評核不到。
