SmallTalk2.me
SmallTalk2.me provides spoken English practice and an automated assessment of a learner's level. Published by SmallTalk2Me, the service records spoken answers and scores fluency, coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, and offers a CEFR level test, IELTS speaking and writing simulators, a mock job interview, and courses on business English for meetings and English for work.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: A free account opens the practice tools: the spoken level test with its CEFR score, the IELTS speaking and writing simulators, the mock job interview, and the feedback on fluency, coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. The courses and the versions for schools and companies are offered separately.
How It Helps Your Business English
The home page opens the free practice and the level test, and lists what the service holds: a CEFR speaking test, IELTS speaking and writing simulators, a mock job interview, a vocabulary builder, and courses from small talk and general speaking to business English for meetings and English for work. The interface is offered in several languages.
You answer a spoken prompt and receive a score on fluency, coherence, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, which turns a vague sense of your level into something you can point at. The mock interview asks the questions you would face, so the practice is the thing itself rather than a drill. Taking the level test again later measures the distance covered.
